Hey, ELA Teacher!
Enrollment for The Hungry Teacher’s Hub begins soon.
Don’t miss your chance to join the middle school ELA teacher membership that brings inspiration, an abundance of impeccable ELA teaching units and resources, along with tons of implementation support and training to teachers just like you!
Until Then, I Want To Show YOU What's Possible This Year!
When you add your name and email to the waitlist, I’ll send you an overview of what’s inside The Hungry Teacher Hub PLUS two free lessons.
I’m excited to welcome you into one of the most inspirational, rigorous, supportive, and well-resourced ELA teacher memberships out there.
I understand that teaching, prepping, planning – and not to mention all that grading- for middle school ELA is one of the most time-consuming jobs out there.
I know that you want to have engaging lessons, resources, and implementation ideas that excite you and your middle school ELA students but also get them reading, writing, and improving their skills. I know you also want to accomplish this, still have a life outside of the classroom, and avoid teacher burn out.
Students thrive when you are well resourced, prepped, supported, and inspired to teach every day.
No matter what your teaching circumstances are in your middle school ELA classroom, it doesn’t have to be needlessly stressful, time-consuming, or boring.
… And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you with.

My worst year of teaching ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me…
In my most recent years of teaching middle school ELA, my students increased their volume of writing from a few sentences each day to almost two pages daily, and their reading volume went from basically nothing to finishing multiple novels during each 3-4 week unit.
Their ELA proficiency test scores increased from 10% to 80% proficiency in just my first two years of teaching.
Despite that huge increase in their reading and writing volume quantity and quality, I literally never brought any grading home.
But it wasn’t always this way.
Prior to teaching seventh and eighth grade ELA, I had been in a sixth grade ELA position that just about had me leave teaching altogether.
My sixth grade students hated reading, produced very little writing, and had minimal stamina or motivation during any of our district and state tests.
I was given a scripted curriculum to “improve student test scores” and it was making my students HATE reading and writing more than before.
I was required to be part of a new teacher training cohort that had to submit lesson plans and would also “improve” and support my teaching, when really it was a time-suck that added even more work to my already-full plate.
I now had triple the amount of students (and grading) than I’d ever experienced. My new school’s plan and prep time was half of what I had in my previous school.
We were all bored, I was completely burnt-out by October, and my classroom management was basically just a survival-mode strategy.
I kept wishing that I had a magical solution that would give me useful support and teaching resources that were engaging, flexible, practical and actually helped my students improve.
If they had helped with classroom management, I would have called it the magical unicorn of teaching.
It was my toughest year of teaching, but I always say it was the best thing that ever happened to me because….
That really tough year had me creating my own resources and strategies that did all the things mentioned above. I switched jobs to a 6th-8th grade ELA position.
…And I started creating The Hungry Teacher Hub ELA Teacher Membership.
It has everything I wished I’d had during that really tough year. Some of it was even created during that first year, as I learned first-hand what types of resources, units, and support middle school ELA teachers really needed.
