I help EGP teachers take back their teaching (super)power.

A space where students find their voice—not sacrifice it to sentence starters and soulless structures.

But somewhere between the pacing calendars, the performance metrics, and the never-ending rows of rubric boxes…your writing instruction has somehow turned into a checklist. One where students ask, “How many paragraphs do I need?” rather than “Who can I impact?” or “What change can my words create?”

They write to perform—not to persuade. To please the prompt—not to push a perspective. To finish the task—not to think through a problem. If you're reading this right now, you KNOW better. And if you're nodding along, you're ready to DO better.

You see the page as a place for meaning, not just mechanics. 

You didn’t become an EGP teacher to spend your weekends grading essays that all sound the same. And you definitely didn’t sign up to read five pages of filler written just to hit a word count.

You teach writing because you believe students should think for themselves—and say something that matters.

So that's where I come in. I help EGP teachers take back their teaching (super)power by replacing rigid, test-prep routines with meaningful writing experiences that are relevant, dynamic, student-led, and built to last—long after the exam is over, but without losing sight of the standards.

We’re not just here to talk about change. We’re here to lead it—with strategies that are practical, powerful, and unapologetically forward-thinking. Because the future belongs to those who can write it—but it starts with teachers who dare to teach it that way. So let’s do this!

not just through assignments, but toward ideas that matter.

Writing should move students—

By equipping teachers with the mindset, strategies, and resources to balance what’s measured with what truly matters, we make writing instruction more relevant, actionable, and unequivocally connected to the world students are stepping into.

The result? Students who think deeply, create with purpose, and use their words to change the world.

We don’t just talk about change in education — we provide the blueprint for it.

the mission:

These values don’t just describe what we offer—they reinforce what we stand for. We aren’t about quick fixes or surface-level strategies… It's about designing instruction that’s relevant, purposeful, and built for the real world our students are stepping into—and honoring the educators doing the work to get them there.

Our work is guided by five core values that shape every resource, strategy, and conversation.

Core Values

Because when students write with purpose, they stop asking, “How many paragraphs do I need?” And start asking, “How can I make my words matter?”

Help students see themselves in the work—so learning feels personal, not performative.

Build bridges between what students care about and what they’re being asked to do.

Equip teachers to guide learning from the inside out—by fostering curiosity, agency, and authentic buy-in.

Our Resources are Designed to:

Too often, instruction is designed from the outside in—focused on coverage, standards, and scores. But real learning doesn’t happen to students. It happens with and within them.

But here’s the thing: that kind of growth doesn’t start with content. It starts with connection—and connection requires vulnerability. 

If we want students to take learning seriously, we have to take them seriously first. That means starting with who they are—not just what we want them to know.

Student-Centered Learning

value #1

Because when students write with purpose, they stop asking, “How many paragraphs do I need?” And start asking, “How can I make my words matter?”

Connect writing to issues and ideas students actually care about.

Help students ground their work in their values, goals, and questions.

Build assignments that feel urgent, relevant, and worth doing—not just required.

Show students that writing is a tool for identity, agency, and impact.

Our Resources are Designed to:

Writing is more than a skill—it’s how students make sense of themselves, connect with the world, and shape what comes next. But in a system obsessed with coverage, genuine purpose gets pushed aside. When we ignore students’ interests, questions, and curiosity, we lose the spark that makes learning meaningful—and the fuel that keeps them thinking when things get hard.

We help teachers bring purpose back—so students write not just to finish, but to figure things out.

Purpose-Driven Learning

value #2

When students see that writing is a tool for leadership, advocacy, and real-world contribution—not just a means to a grade—they show up to the work with purpose and power

Anchor writing in student experience—so it feels authentic, not obligatory.

Provide real-world models and mediums—so students can move ideas into action. 

Cultivate transferable writing habits that extend far beyond academic performance.

Our Resources are Designed to:

Academic writing has its place—but it can’t be the whole picture. Students also need opportunities to express their ideas in modern, meaningful formats: blog posts, podcast scripts, social media campaigns, portfolios, pitches, and proposals.

They need to know how to write to inform, to influence, to inspire—to speak up, take action, and move ideas forward.

it’s not just about what students know. It’s about what they can do with that knowledge—and how that doing builds clarity, confidence, and agency in real time.

Practical Use & Real-World Transfer

value #3

Progress doesn’t come from standing still. It comes from stepping into the unknown—for the sake of what’s possible.

Give teachers the tools—and the permission—to try new strategies on behalf of their learners.

Offer real examples and insights to help teachers take smart risks with confidence—not just courage.

Ground risk-taking in research, not trend-chasing—so every decision is driven by what students actually need to grow.

Our Resources are Designed to:

Too often, the pacing guide boxes instruction in—keeping things safe, scripted, and on schedule. But when the curriculum doesn’t meet students where they actually are, our job isn’t to follow the map—it’s to take the risk and bridge the gap.

Teaching is a science—and a science experiment. Research shows that reflection, student choice, project-based learning, and iteration drive deeper engagement and stronger outcomes. We can’t keep skipping them because they feel messy in the moment.

We challenge the status quo—and support the stumble. This means trying bold moves, tracking what happens, and adjusting with intention.

Risks & Resilience

value #4

So we support teachers at every turn, as they make bold, meaningful moves in their practice.

Because teachers don’t just need more resources. They need resources that respect their judgment—and reflect their leadership.

Free teachers from rigid routines that stifle creativity.

Build confidence through adaptable strategies teachers can make their own.

Help educators reclaim their power—to trust their instincts, take bold risks, and design learning that actually matters.

Our Resources are Designed to:

We don’t hand teachers a checklist. We remind them of their power to make professional choices rooted in their expertise, their instincts, and their students’ needs.

More often than not, teacher expertise is sidelined, their decisions second-guessed, and their every move micromanaged by systems more focused on compliance than trust.

Teachers deserve to be treated as the trusted professionals they are. They have more power than they realize—and we’re here to help them reclaim it.
