Here's the real reason why learning how to Batch Plan might just be the fastest way to steal back your nights and weekends so you can spend more time with your family and friends ...

I was where you are right now, and I know exactly how you are feeling … in fact, I quit teaching just 3.5 years into the profession.

I constantly found myself butting heads against “The System.” 

The System that made being a great teacher without working until 11pm at night and for 6 hours on Sundays seem like an impossible task. 

It didn’t help that all of the other teachers at my school stayed late and said working Sundays were just a “part of the job.”

In fact, one of my administrators even told me “This is just what teaching is. This is what you signed up for, so get used to it.” 

I think she was trying to protect me from disappointment, but who knows. 

What I do know is those words stung … badly. 

I mean, I was a good teacher, but I was absolutely wrecking myself trying to be a great one. 

And maybe your experience is very similar to mine …

In the beginning of your teaching career you felt excited to finally have your own classroom, to get to make an impact on the lives of students, to have a purpose-driven career. 

And as the years went on, you started to realize you were constantly butting up against a system - the same one I ran into.

But you keep going anyway because you want to love the profession, you just don’t know how to or what that could even look like. 

This is a very dark and lonely place to be because very few people understand the pressure that you’re facing or how to help you. 

Well, I'm here to tell you, I’ve been through all of that already, I made it to the other side, and I know exactly how to help you.  

And the entire team at EB Academics is going to help you every step of the way. 

hey there!

We're Caitlin + Jessica

CO-FOUNDERS, EB ACADEMICS

Jessica and I co-founded EB Academics in 2014. As a teacher, I went through years of struggling to truly understand what it meant and looked like to become an empowered ELA teacher - the teacher who got to leave school at school, head out when the bell rang, and not give grading or planning a second thought on the weekends.

I remember though in those early years in the classroom that led me to quitting, that I felt like a complete failure - teaching began to feel more and more unmanageable. 

The biggest struggle? Learning how to create an easy framework for myself to follow when creating and planning my lessons.

And that’s where Jessica stepped in.

She was the teacher across the hall from me the year I returned to the classroom to give it another shot, and I went to her desperately seeking help and advice. Thankfully, she sat me down and showed me what she was doing - batch planning. 

And after years of perfecting our Batch Planning Framework, writing a book all about it, and helping thousands of teachers around the world take complete control of their teaching lives, we’re excited to be able to invite you to our 6th Batch Planning Live Event. 

We can’t wait to guide you. 

If you’ve been to other conferences or PD in the past and you …

… didn’t feel like you learned anything concrete that you could actually take and use in your classroom. 

… walked away feeling more overwhelmed than when you showed up and now have all of these ideas with no plan to actually implement them. 

… felt like your time would have been better spent grading that stack of essays instead. 


… know that our Batch Planning Live experience is different
 

By participating in this 2-day workshop with us, you’ll walk away with … 

 

 

  1. The entire first half of your 2023-2024 School Year lesson plans completed and scheduled, so you can walk out of school each day with your students, knowing you don’t have to think about teaching until the next morning.
  2. A new framework for teaching that ensures you know exactly which activities you’re doing every single school day, eliminating stress and overwhelm once and for all. 

  3. The start of a more effective routine that ensures you consistently produce higher-quality lesson plans while improving student engagement

  4. Inspiration and motivation from guest speakers and Caitlin and Jessica that will give you renewed excitement for teaching!

 

Batch Planning Live was created based on your needs.

Summer 2023 Guest Speakers

I WAS ONCE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW...

That’s when I decided to do things differently and everything changed.

  • I was finally able to leave school when my students walked out the door. Bringing my teacher bag home? Not a chance. In fact, I ended up throwing my teacher bag away because all I brought to and from school was my purse.
  • I got to actually spend quality time with family and friends where I was PRESENT. I wasn’t physically in one place while simultaneously thinking about all of the other things I needed to get done for the week ahead.
  • I stopped lesson planning on a weekly, sometimes even daily basis. I knew exactly what I was teaching, when I was teaching it, and why I was teaching it. Not just because I saw something on social media, but because I had intentionally planned my lessons in order to help increase my students’ learing outcomes.
  • I was finally excited about teaching again! I fell completely back in love with the profession, and it got to be everything I had hoped it would be and more when I first decided to become a teacher.

And we want to help you get the same results….
At Batch Planning Live, we are going to focus on teaching you about our EB Lesson Planning Approach, as we break down planning into 4 different stages.
  • Your Scope and Sequence
  • Using the Standards as Your Guide
  • Our Signature Into, Through, and Beyond Approach 
  • The Planning and Prepping Stage
SAY NO MORE – I'M IN!
If you want to finally have a system that works to protect you from the larger system of teaching, each stage of our EB Lesson Planning Approach is of paramount importance to making that happen. All of these work together to get you out of the day-to-day lesson planning, so that you finally have the time to do the things outside of teaching that you love and value.

Here’s the deal with Batch Planning Live...

We created this event so that we can be the person for you that I needed most when I actually quit and walked away from teaching all those years ago. 

 

Here’s why this event is different than anything you’ve attended in the past. 

  • There’s a deep need in the profession for teachers to find inspiration, community, and support. That is exactly what Batch Planning Live is going to bring into your life. Teaching doesn’t have to be isolating. You don’t have to do this alone. Having a community can make or break your experience. 
  • You will have dedicated work time actually set aside to get the work done. No more putting it off until another day when you “finally have the time.” No. You’ve dedicated two days of your life to plan that will reward you 100 fold throughout the school year. 
  • You are going to walk away from this event with foundational planning skills that should have been taught to you in your master’s or teaching program. 5 hours spent planning on a single lesson? Not even kind of realistic. Now, you’ll have a framework that actually works for planning and gives you back your life outside of school. 

Here’s what’s included in the event...

  • The 4-Step Process of our EB Lesson Planning Approach
  • Hot Seat opportunities to work through your units and ask Caitlin and Jessica your specific questions.

  • Collaboration time in specialized breakout rooms, so you can collaborate with teachers in your area of the world who are teaching the same grade level and subjects!

  • DEDICATED time to plan for the beginning of the year - absolutely invaluable!

  • Specialized and Exclusive Digital Planner designed with your teaching needs in mind. This planner includes all of your standards, your Scope and Sequence, as well as your day-to-day and weekly plans. 

  • Digital SWAG bag with inspirational posters, wallpapers for your computer, and more. 

  • PRIZES!! We pick a handful of teachers at each event to win all kinds of fun prizes!
