I love student whiteboards.

My daughter is a new math teacher so I had to get her my favorite whiteboards. They last forever and there are different options for graphic organizers... I of course have graph paper.

And the markers are great!

I've had a lot of teachers ask if they could simply get access to my entire Google Drive resource library.

So here it is.

Inside you'll find thousands of classroom resources I've created over the years, and I'll continue adding new materials as I make them, so the library will keep growing over time.

If you find the resources valuable and would like to support my work, you're welcome to make a donation here.

Thank you so much for your support. It truly means a great deal.

Also, if you know other educators who might benefit from these resources, I'd be incredibly grateful if you shared my email newsletter with them. Word of mouth makes a huge difference and helps me continue creating and sharing free resources. Thank you for your support!

Thank you again for your generosity and support. It truly means more than you know.

Confidence doesn't come from believing in yourself. It comes from having done the uncomfortable thing enough times that your nervous system stops flagging it as an emergency. Because nothing is actually hard, it's just unfamiliar.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got: If you want a calmer life, you need to address small problems while they’re still small. The cost of dealing with an issue rarely gets cheaper with time. Procrastination turns uncomfortable things into unavoidable things.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.

I am creating a series of writing prompts called “Modern Mastery.”

The goal is to equip students with the mindset and skills needed to thrive in the modern world and future economy.

I think of these writing prompts as a form of social-emotional learning, but with a modern twist.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

As you know, I believe in what I call the “modern” student.

Each generation is different, and there’s no denying that screens and phones have reshaped how today’s students think, focus, and learn.

So instead of fighting that reality, I’m adjusting to it.

That’s why I’m leaning more into retrieval-based work, and why you’ll see me creating a lot more of it.

-Brain dumps.
-Memory challenges.
-Research-then-write (from memory).
-And more.

If we want students to think for themselves, we have to train their minds to actually hold and use knowledge.

Here are some retrieval activities you can share with your students.

In 2014, Toronto students joked about facing MLB pitchers. That stuck with Joshua Pope.

What if a machine replicated the idea? Years later, it’s taken over baseball.

“You lose the person that knows everything… and loves you anyway.”

Nicole Kidman opened up about the death of her mother with such raw honesty it stopped me in my tracks.

Even though her mother was 84 and lived a full life, the grief doesn’t come with an expiration date. People say “get it together,” but she’s giving herself — and all of us — permission to feel it in waves, for as long as it takes.

No pressure to be “over it.” Just space to miss your mother.

And perhaps the deepest comfort is knowing this isn’t the end. Those we’ve loved don’t fully leave us — they live on in the quiet ways we carry them: in our values, our memories, and the love that still guides us every day.
