Welcome, I’m Katy!

I’m a dr. pepper lovin’, morgan wallen obsessed, rancher wife and kindergarten teacher mama to two. I have been an elementary teacher for 11 years, and I’ve been running from it since year two…always chasing after the greener grass (but never finding it). After I had my daughter back in 2019, I experienced extreme burn-out in the profession. I wasn’t doing a very good job managing my classroom systems, and I found myself staying wayyy too late and bringing work home almost every weekend to keep my head above water. I knew something had to change if I wanted to remain in the classroom, so I made it my mission to create simplified classroom systems so I could create a better work/life balance and remain in the profession. I am extremely passionate about whole group classroom management and instruction, and I am sharing my journey through finding a more simple way as a teacher and through motherhood so I can inspire you to do the same.

I hope you’ll stay awhile. ♡

Say goodbye to Overwhelm

never ending planning

I will help teachers simplify lesson planning and utilize whole group instruction to deliver strong Tier One instruction with less differentiation.

blurting during lessons

I will help teachers make their lessons engaging so students do not get off-task as easily and help them manage blurting while not derailing a lesson.

Morning routine

I will help teachers master their morning routine by adding morning meeting to set everyone up for a great day!

My Teaching Style is Different

I am a huge believer in the importance of setting up strong classroom routines and management at the beginning of the school year. When students can become a partner in the leadership of the classroom and a strong classroom community is developed, magic happens with academics. Positive community sets stage for learning and growing to thrive.
