Hi, I'm Courtney!

Hey! Everyone needs a teacher bestie….especially when you’re new, struggling or things seem just plain hard. It’s my hope, that in this little space on the internet, you’ll find what you need to make all the behind the scenes of teaching just a little bit lighter and easier!

I help classroom teachers like you with resources, tools, and strategies for managing your class well, navigating parent communication successfully, and lesson planning for engagement, so that you can create a learning environment in which students can thrive academically and spiritually.

From resources for teaching ELA and the Catholic faith with ease, to tools, strategies and tips for successfully managing your classroom and accomplishing all the “behind-the-scenes” responsibilities, I’m here to help!

You're in the right place if:

You’re a classroom teacher in a Catholic school. So, you’re looking for ready-to-go resources for teaching the Catholic faith, that will engage your students in learning about the faith and growing in their relationship with Christ, designed with the classroom learning environment in mind.

Classroom Management isn’t your strong suit. You could use some tips and guidance from someone who has been in your shoes before and knows the key ingredients for creating a successfully managed learning environment that maximizes instructional minutes, so that your students can make their greatest gains.

Parent Communication stresses you out. When it comes to reaching out to parents regarding student achievement, student behavior or responding to emails from concerned or angry parents, you’d really appreciate some support, so that you can handle these interactions with confidence.

You teach faith formation classes, work in youth ministry or homeschool and are looking for new resources and ideas for teaching the faith that can be adapted to your unique teaching environment.

That's why I created the Teacher's Guide to Classroom Prayer.

To get you started with actionable steps you can take today to bring peace to classroom, cultivate an authentically Catholic learning environment, and equip your students to learn, grow and thrive academically and spiritually.

I've Got Your Back!

If you’re ready to cultivate a truly Catholic classroom community in which students are inspired to learn, grow and thrive academically and spiritually,
I’ve got just the thing for you.

I’ll provide you with actionable steps you can implement today, so that you can inspire your students to truly live out their faith and use their unique set of gifts and talents to make the world a better place.

So, when you sign up to receive the Teacher’s Guide to Classroom Prayer, I’ll help you with suggestions for praying for your students, praying with your students, and nurturing your own prayer life, too.

If you got into teaching because you truly wanted to make a difference in the world through the lives of your students, the Teacher’s Guide to Classroom Prayer is exactly what you need to get started or continue good work you’ve already begun! Seriously, why wait?!
