Hey there, Teachers!

Why I Created Teach Like a TopTEN™

After 20+ years in the classroom, I started noticing a pattern—strong, dedicated teachers working hard but still feeling stuck.

Repeating reminders. Managing behavior. Reacting all day. And wondering why it still felt harder than it should.

The truth? It’s not about working harder.
It’s about building the right systems and making the right teacher moves.

Teach Like a TopTEN™ is built from real classroom trial, error, and what actually works—so you can build strong culture, raise expectations, and run a classroom that works.

I’ve Been There

I walked into my classroom thinking I had a plan.

I spent hours prepping, organizing, and trying to get everything “just right.”

And then the students walked in.

And everything I planned started to fall apart.

I was managing behavior. Repeating directions. Trying to keep up. And wondering why it felt so hard.

It wasn’t because I didn’t care. It wasn’t because I wasn’t working hard.

It was because I didn’t have the right systems—and I didn’t understand how to build culture yet.

Once that shifted, everything changed.

My classroom ran smoother. Students took ownership. And teaching finally felt lighter.

That’s what I want for you.
