Are you a New chemistry teacher, a "new" chemistry teacher, or just know there HAS to be a better way?!

Tell me if this sounds right...

New Chemistry Teacher - You took all the college classes (or praxis), interviewed, got the job (hooray!), and now have the awesome new title of Chemistry Teacher, but now what? Where to start, what do students actually need from you and to write down to learn the abstract material that is chemistry in a confident and successful way?

“New” Chemistry Teacher - You’ve been teaching science (or math) for a while, maybe biology or physics, and your administration came to you and said, “We need you to move to chemistry because (insert any reason possible)…” You said yes, (you’re a SAINT)! You don’t want to spend all your time figuring out how to teach this new abstract subject to students and are looking for the best resources from someone who has taught this before and created countless successful and confident students.

Looking for a Better Way - aka the BEST way, the proven way - You’ve been teaching chemistry for a little while now but have not found the BEST way to turn the abstractness of chemistry into concrete simple explanations that make sense to all your students. You’re tired of searching and wish you could just walk next door and your coworker could hand you what you’re looking for.

But the truth is, at this moment being a ____ chemistry teacher means that you have to struggle through a full school year of being crunched for time, late nights after everyone else goes to bed, figuring out what, when, and how to teach the chemistry content to create success for all your students.

I get it. I’ve been there. I was that brand new chemistry teacher in 2013, fresh out of college, and had just moved to a new state. A week before school started my assistant principal walked me to my classroom, opened the door, and said, “The previous teacher passed away and all her stuff is in those file cabinets along with the teacher edition of the textbook she used. Let me know how I can help.” And he walked away…

I dug a little through the drawers and found old transparencies for an overhead projector. (I didn’t even know how to turn an overhead projector on.) So, I left that idea and looked at the textbook. It was okay, it was 10 years old and not very student-friendly…ugh.

It is so easy to get overwhelmed with all that you need to do before the students walk through your classroom doors.

Most likely, you’ve tried looking at the textbook or scrolled through Teacher’s Pay Teachers.

But somehow, despite your best efforts, you still haven’t found the right framework, something straightforward, student-centered, easy to click/print/copy, has support for you, and is proven to work.

Well get excited because the Chemistry Notes Teacher Toolkit was designed especially for New & “new” (and those who want the BEST way) Chemistry Teachers to make sure you cover everything you need to in a student-friendly and empowering way while getting your own support and guidance from me to help you put time, energy, and confidence back in your life.

I want to make a HUGE POSITIVE impact on students’ experiences in the chemistry classroom.

I’m a previous chemistry teacher turned assistant principal turned teacher coach/chemistry curriculum writer (and part-time stay-at-home mom), and I can’t wait to share my years of experience making chemistry understandable and engaging for ALL my students.

Yes, I even taught a section of chemistry while being an assistant principal / athletic director. (And yes, it was crazy! I don’t recommend…)

I've taught high school chemistry at all levels (AP, at-risk, academic, honors) for over ten years, have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry & education, and a master’s in educational leadership. I’m excited for you to become a confident chemistry teacher and share these best learning practices with your students.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was a New chemistry teacher myself struggling to fit it all in, unable to predict my student’s misconceptions and have the words ready to answer their interesting chemistry questions on the fly. I found myself searching the internet for content notes and practice pages for high schoolers and never found what I was looking for. So, I made it myself and lost a LOT of time and sleep in the process.

I don’t want you to have to go through what I did, so I’m sharing what I’ve made, what I know works for teachers and students, and what gives students and teachers the confidence to learn and explore chemistry with success and excitement!

These days, my days are filled with time spent on what I enjoy – family, gardening, camping, boating, and supporting chemistry teachers like you use your time efficiently, have support to overcome subject knowledge gaps and create success in chemistry for ALL your students.

Now it’s your turn! The Chemistry Notes Teacher Toolkit has everything you need
