Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
You got into teaching English because you love writing and literature, but turning your passion into daily lesson plans is far more difficult than you expected.
You've found that there are some things you were never taught (like grammar) that now you are expected to teach to your students. Plus, you need to make it engaging!
You know your students need to become better writers, but breaking down the writing process is so complex, and it's hard to even know where to start.
Your students aren't buying in to what you're teaching. You need to make it more relevant, but you don't know how.
You love your students, but the daily planning part of the job is making you wonder if you can stay in this profession.
You want to try innovative things in your classroom like using podcasts and project-based learning, but the mere thought of planning for all of that overwhelms you.
If it does, then you know you can't stay in this profession for long unless something changes!
That's why we created the
English Teacher Vault
We are teachers who created a community for teachers!
If you love teaching, but the day-to-day of lesson planning has you beyond exhausted, we totally get that. Teaching English at the secondary level requires that you come up with meaningful lessons for literature, writing, grammar, and media, which is a huge ask! PLUS it has to be relevant or else your students will not buy in.
We take care of the most burdensome part of this job: creating fantastic lessons.
Whether you are a new teacher or a veteran teacher who has been given a new prep, you know that the most time-consuming part of the job is creating lessons from scratch that will engage your learners.
Textbooks might offer a handful of comprehension questions, but that's not a lesson plan!
And scrolling for hours on the internet for a decent lesson is exhausting and time consuming.
It might feel like the only way to have great lessons is through creating them yourself. But there's just no time!
There is a solution.
We provide you with hundreds of research-based, student-approved, ready-to-go lessons, with complete units being added every month.
Join MembershipOur units include:
LESSON PLANS
We break our units down into daily lesson plans so you know exactly how to teach each concept every single day of the unit.
DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIES
Each unit comes with strategies for differentiation if you teach different levels including emergent learners and honors or pre-AP.
GUIDED NOTES
Units include guided notes for all slideshows and graphic organizers for complex tasks.
MENTOR TEXTS
Our units include mentor texts for developing writing craft and for observing the techniques of great writers. No more spending hours looking for mentor texts!
HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES
Learning sinks in more deeply when students can move things around! We include a low-prep, hands-on activity in every unit.
AUTHENTIC ASSIGNMENTS
Our writing units culminate in a purposeful assignment for an authentic audience.
Let's Take a Look Inside
The English Teacher Vault is the help you need to bring relevant, engaging, lessons to your students that they'll love, so that you avoid teacher burnout!
