     LOVE the format, which is so user-friendly, easy to read, covers everything in succinct text with great examples, and the resources at the end are amazing. It comes at a time when it seems many middle schools are tending to move away from teaming and this will show them how to reimagine it! "

    ❄️Are you in the giving spirit this holiday season, yet also looking for a way to do so without having it cost you more money and more time?

    We have a great idea for you - share a resource you’ve created or you use often in your classroom on Education Blueprint so that other teachers can learn about it too - and use it for their classroom management, classroom instruction, or their own personal professional development. 

    It takes less that 60 seconds to share and tag a tool that could help thousands of other educators teach better, and, most importantly, the more resources we know about as educators, the greater the opportunities we will have to present to learners in our classrooms without spending countless hours scouring the internet for what can serve us and our students well.

    Login and create your free account today. This platform is created for teachers, by teachers, and is funded through generous donations as a nonprofit organization. 

    www.educationblueprint.org 

    Watch a quick video to learn more about how to add a resource.
