Your Classroom Doesn’t Need More Rules...
It Needs Better Systems
Let’s simplify your routines, boost student accountability, and make math a class they want to show up for.
If you’re anything like most middle school math teachers...
you’re constantly juggling behavior, learning gaps, STAAR expectations, early finishers, small groups, and students who suddenly “forgot” how to participate.
Chileee...You don’t need more chaos.
You need systems, routines, and real-world math activities that do the heavy lifting with you.
This page is your home base for everything I teach in workshops & mini-PDs
Think of this as your no-fluff hub of support — loaded with freebies, quick wins, and PD that actually works in a real classroom.

Why Teachers Trust My Systems
I’ve taught middle school math for almost a decade, and I know exactly what it feels like to teach in a room full of talkative, unpredictable teenagers — while trying to close gaps, meet standards expectations, and keep engagement high.
My classroom did not transform because of complicated programs.
It transformed because of simple systems, real-world math, and student accountability.
I now help teachers bring those same systems to their classrooms through PD, workshops, and ready-to-use resources.
