Thoughtful Resources for Educators
Classroom tools and creative resources designed to support SEL, engagement, and meaningful learning.
Below you’ll find links to my TPT and Etsy stores, along with other resources as they’re created.
The Learning Forge Academy
The Learning Forge Academy is my collection of classroom resources built from over a decade of real teaching experience. Every lesson, tool, and activity started as something I needed for my own students—refined through use, adjusted for clarity, and designed to actually work in a real classroom.
Hosted on Teachers Pay Teachers, this space brings together print-and-go materials that support both academic learning and social-emotional growth. You’ll find a strong focus on elementary art lessons, SEL-centered activities, and visual tools that help students better understand themselves and the world around them.
These resources are designed to be simple to implement, visually clear, and meaningful for students—whether you’re a classroom teacher, counselor, or parent supporting learning at home.
At its core, The Learning Forge Academy is about creating tools that feel purposeful, human, and ready to use the moment you print them.
The Tired Teacher's Toolbox
Tired Teacher’s Toolbox is my Etsy shop, it’s where my work becomes tangible. While many of my ideas begin as digital resources, this space is dedicated to the materials that are meant to live on your walls and in your environment.
Here, you’ll find thoughtfully designed posters and visual tools that support social-emotional learning, classroom culture, and student engagement—created to be seen, referenced, and used daily. These are the pieces that anchor a space, spark conversations, and quietly support students throughout the day.
Over time, Tired Teacher’s Toolbox will continue to grow to include additional teacher-focused materials and merchandise, but at its core, it’s about bringing purposeful, practical design into real classrooms and everyday spaces.
