THE BRAVE NEW TEACHING PODAST PRESENTS:

BNT HAPPY HOUR!

The only after-hours teacher work club of its kind designed to support, inspire, and guide teachers toward being the best version of themselves inside AND outside of the classroom.

You've arrived at the place for secondary ELA teachers to find the affordable and inspiring PD and community they deserve and we're so glad you're here 🥳

HOSTED BY:

Amanda Cardenas & Marie Morris of the Brave New Teaching Podcast

Here's the thing...

There are a lot of places where we can find resources when we’ve been assigned a new unit to teach. Google. TpT. YouTube. We can go to those search engines and find truly rockstar resources and get great ideas.

But here’s the problem:

you still have to put together a brand new unit that you’re not prepared to teach.

A single YouTube video on Brutus' orchard speech and a handful of free worksheet downloads can only get you so far before you find yourself back at square one thinking, but what is this Shakespeare unit going to look like?

Because you’re a great teacher, you know that in order for a unit to be effective, it needs to be cohesive. So finding bits and pieces all over the internet might get you started, but you still need to know the goals of the unit, the heart of the struggles and experiences of the characters, and the core skills that need to be taught and assessed.

That’s where Happy Hour comes in.

Every month, we're here.

Happy Hour Teachers focus on THREE things to make their teaching-lives better:

  • Planning and Organization:

    Access our templates, checlists, planning documents, Trello Boards, Google Calendars and more to get your planning focused and on track.

  • Inspirational ELA Units:

    Use our carefully curated resources to design new, unique, and meaningful units for your 6-12 ELA classrooms that ALWAYS center inquiry & critical thinking.

  • Community with Teachers who GET IT:

    Enjoy invitations to our Happy Hour events, work sessions, and specialized trainings designed just for teachers like you.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • You're consistently growing and learning from trusted experts while you're out and about, living your life.

  • You'll cut straight to the specifics of your most pressing classroom needs with an action plan from the pros.

  • You’re finally seeing the fruits of your labor show up in the form of a strong classroom community & academic curiosity in your classroom.

THREE WAYS TO BECOME A HAPPY HOUR TEACHER

...and each is designed with your unique circumstances in mind.

HAPPY HOUR

If community support and a little extra nudge in your organization in planning is just what you need, here's where you sign up! We can't wait to be by your side as you meet our other HH teachers and dive into our monthly resources.

This is for you if...

  • You already love and adore the weekly BNT Podcast, but still want more

  • You're lacking community in your current teaching experience and want to feel connected and energized by teachers still excited about teaching

  • You feel like your school doesn't have much else to give you in terms of support, inspiration, or relevant PD

  • You are looking for expertise from new fresh voices in the secondary ELA community

This is NOT for you if...

  • PD opportunities at your school are ample and you don't have enough time to take advantage of them all

  • You're not really someone who learns best from listening

  • You're satisfied with your school community and not in need of being surrounded by like-minded teachers across the world

Does this sound familiar?

  • You've been teaching for a while, but find yourself hitting a creative wall. You're consistently thinking how do I grow from here?

  • Things at school are generally fine, but "fine" and "bleh" are starting to feel like synonyms.

  • You've got the fire to learn and grow, but not the funds.

  • The PD "experts" hired to come in to your school are in one day and gone the next. They drop something trendy, but there's no follow-through whatsoever. Even if it WAS helpful, there's no way for you to get questions answered or have someone to debrief your ideas from the session.

If it does, now picture this...

  • You have access to monthly PD that prides itself on creativity and student-centered practices.

  • You find yourself vigorously taking notes and slapping post-its all over your planner with a bright new spark of ideas every single week. You might also be investing in adult diapers from the ridiculous banter that comes outta Marie & Amanda's super weird brains.

  • You have two inexpensive ways to keep the PD coming to your earbuds every week and are free to come and go as you please.

  • You truly feel cared for and seen. You have access to a voicemail box to leave your questions and will be answered ON AIR, or, at least in an email, whenever you need the help.
