The fact that you’re here tells me you’re an upper elementary teacher who wants to make teaching more manageable, effective, and enjoyable – without spending hours planning and prepping.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. My goal is to make teaching easier for you by providing ready-to-use, student-centered resources so you can spend less time planning and more time doing what you love – teaching and inspiring your students.
I started The Learning Effect because I know firsthand how overwhelming teaching can be. As a former upper elementary teacher, I spent countless hours planning lessons, searching for engaging activities, and trying to keep up with everything that comes with running a classroom. I loved teaching, but the never-ending workload and stress left me feeling exhausted.
That’s why I created The Learning Effect—to provide time-saving, ready-to-use resources that help teachers like you feel more prepared, confident, and in control. Whether it’s interactive math review games, hands-on science projects, or classroom management tools, my goal is to make teaching easier so you can focus on what truly matters- helping your students learn and grow.
Now, as a full-time educational resource creator, I’m here to help you simplify your planning, engage your students, and take back your time – without sacrificing quality instruction.
I’ve been in your shoes. With a degree in elementary education and experience teaching grades 2-6, I know what it’s like to juggle lesson planning, classroom management, and the endless to-do lists that come with teaching. I’ve spent years creating engaging, standards-aligned resources that work in real classrooms – because I designed them with my own students in mind.
Now, as a full-time educational resource creator, I stay up to date on best practices, new teaching strategies, and the latest tools to help upper elementary teachers make learning meaningful while keeping things manageable. My resources have been used by thousands of teachers, and I take pride in creating materials that are practical, effective, and easy to implement.
I’m here to help you save time, reduce stress, and bring more joy into your teaching.
When I’m not creating resources for The Learning Effect, you can find me spending time with my family, playing Barbies with my daughter, or trying out new recipes in the kitchen (I’m always on the hunt for healthy gluten- and dairy-free meals!). I’m a big fan of cozy blankets, hot coffee, and a well-organized planner – because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good checklist?
I believe in working smarter, not harder, and I love helping teachers simplify their workload so they can focus on what really matters – both in and out of the classroom. Thanks for stopping by! I’m so glad you’re here!
