about us

The Notebook Curriculum is a versatile framework for any subject, focused on helping teachers establish the foundation of high-quality lesson plans and instructional practices with a clear direction and purpose. Whether you are a new teacher who doesn’t know what to do, a struggling teacher who feels like a failure in the classroom, or even a veteran teacher who just wants to try something new, The Notebook Curriculum will help you become the teacher you always dreamed of being, raising your confidence as an educator and your sense of self-efficacy as an instructional leader.  Its lessons and routines will help you maintain a positive learning environment for all your students, coaching them in the art of self-reflection, giving them the opportunity to take ownership of their own understanding, and allowing them to thrive as learners who personalize and internalize the knowledge they learn. In a nutshell, The Notebook Curriculum will help you harness all the power you have as a teacher and all the power your students have as learners.  So, let’s get started helping you become the teacher you and I know you were always meant to be.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve visited hundreds of classrooms, observed incredibly talented teachers, and attend countless trainings on classroom management and instruction.  This book is my answer for anyone who has ever struggled teaching, has the internal drive to want better, and doesn’t know what to do next…
