Free tools for the hard days

Get the Toolkit and the good stuff in between.

I'm Trisha Dotts. After 30 years of teaching, these are the four things I still reach for. They're yours, free.

Kids can't learn when they're scared, wound up, or buried in busywork. Each of these helps with one of those.

We Have More Than Enough. A read-aloud book you can read aloud today. It calms the fear that there won't be enough in your classroom, the quiet worry that stops a lot of kids from learning.

The 4:1 Challenge. A quick game that shows why some kids seem to need so much, and how to keep up without running yourself dry.

The Friction Audit Card. One page that helps you spot the busywork getting in the way of real learning.

Let's Re-Set. The three-minute routine I use to get a wound-up class and myself back to steady. Move, Calm, Think, Plan.

Put in your email, and I'll send all four. I'll write now and then with something useful, and nothing else. Leave whenever you want.

As a thank-you for joining, I will send you Ready Set, my free guide for the hard mornings.

The short routine I use before those moments fall apart: Move. Calm. Think. Plan.
