A 5th grade teacher in Virginia, nearly 20 years in the classroom. I started using Claude to plan faster and teach smarter — then built a whole library of ready-to-teach lessons. Let me show you.

I'm the last car in the parking lot not because I have to be — because I want to be. I genuinely love the planning part of teaching. I'm the one hunting down the perfect 15-second clip of a tornado tearing through a downtown just so my students feel why we crouch in the hallway during the drill.
But I used to dread the stack of papers with no clear next step. The parent email I'd rewrite four times. The brilliant lesson living in my head that I couldn't quite bring to life because I ran out of time, energy, or both.
Then I found Claude. I'm not an AI expert — I'm a teacher who loves finding better, easier ways to do things. Claude became the tool that finally let me take a small idea and make it real in minutes. It handled the parts I dreaded so I could spend more time on the parts I love. Everything in the Collective below started right there.
My mentor Debbie has taught for over 40 years. This year, she'd finally made up her mind: she was done. Retirement, for real this time.
Then I sat her down and showed her what I'd found with Claude — how I was actually using it, day to day, in my classroom. She turned into a first-year teacher right in front of me. The excitement, the ideas, the what if we did this energy — all back.
She's staying another year. Not because anyone asked her to — because she needs more time to use Claude in the classroom. That's the story I tell every time someone asks why I started The Prompt Teacher.
If you're the teacher with more ideas than hours in the day — you're in the right place. Here's what I've been building. 👇

I'm still in the classroom — 5th grade math, science, and ELA, nearly 20 years in. Every lesson in here is something I've actually used with real kids, in a real room, on a real Tuesday when nothing was going according to plan. No fluff, no filler.
I built this Collective so you could stop reinventing the wheel at 9pm and get back to the part you love. Claim your founding spot, poke around, and grab the free sample. If one lesson saves you a night of planning, it did its job.
