Kenzie Caudill | middle school ELA teacher

My school provides a curriculum, but it’s very difficult to change to meet my students’ needs, and honestly, it is so huge it’s overwhelming. The resources provided via The Hungry Teacher curriculum program have so many diverse options that feel less stressful and overwhelming to work through. It's easier for me to see another teacher in action and then try to do the same than just to be handed bundles of materials without a bigger picture idea of how to implement them."

"I have loved the community that comes with the curriculum!

Tell your brain it doesn’t have to juggle it all anymore.

The “freedom” to plan your own lessons can feel like a blessing and a curse … 

which is why we spell things out for you. (Ugh, yes, pardon the pun!)
