About
Built in real classrooms. Ready for yours.
Classroom resources for educators, built by educators who use them and thrive with them. The Everything Educator works across 6 areas of practice, from world language and elementary through special education, SEL, and middle and high school subjects, with twenty years of Spanish teaching at the spine of it. This is where the material we build for our own students ends up once it is clean enough for somebody else to print.
The ground we cover
Counts are live. An area appears here when there are resources behind it.
The expertise behind the files
Every discipline here belongs to a real educator who has built or shaped what we sell.
Who makes these
Everything in the store is made by educators who use it. A world language classroom is the spine of the catalogue, and the special education, behavior and communication files carry input from the people who practise those disciplines every day: special educators, an applied behavior analysis teacher, speech and language, and related-service specialists. The areas above are counted off the files themselves, not off a list of job titles, so a discipline shows up here only when there is real work behind it. If you teach one of these subjects and want your work in front of the teachers who need it, write to us.
Why the files look like this
Before returning to full time teaching, one of us spent years as Director of AI and Technology for an international K to 12 school network. Part of that job was watching good material fail in practice, usually for boring reasons. The font was not installed. The name was wrong and could not be fixed. The color version ate a cartridge and there was no black and white version. The file assumed a device every kid had, right up until the wifi went down.
So the rules here are simple and they do not change. Everything is editable in PowerPoint and Google Slides. Everything prints in color and in black and white. Nothing needs a font you have to install. Nothing needs a device.
The Spanish side
A good part of the store is written in Spanish, for Spanish class, by the person teaching it. That matters more than it sounds. Most Spanish classroom decor is English decor run through a translator, and students notice the difference between language that was written and language that was converted.
How a file gets published
Four steps, in this order, every time. The order is the point.
- Built for one classA specific group, a specific week, a specific thing that was not working.
- Used with studentsIn the room, on the day, with whatever the room does to a plan.
- Fixed where it brokeWhich is usually the part nobody plans for, and the part that never shows up in a mockup.
- Then it gets a listingA cover, a preview of every page, and a description of what actually prints.
A resource that has not survived a class period is not ready to sell to somebody else's class period.
What you can expect
Four things that are true of every file, or it does not get listed.
- Real page previews. Every listing shows what actually prints.
- Editable text, every time, so the names and the wording end up being yours.
- Color and an ink saving black and white version in the same file.
- A straight answer if you write to us about a file. A person reads it.
