CULTURE FIRST. BEHAVIOR SECOND.™
ONGOING CLASSROOM COACHING + PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
Build the classroom you actually WANT to teach in.
Create a classroom where expectations are high, students feel like they belong, and they learn to participate, contribute, and take ownership—so you spend less time managing every little thing and more time actually teaching.
Less managing. More teaching.
Timely training + live coaching that stays one step ahead of your school year—so you know what to work on before the next classroom challenge hits.

IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING...
Teaching Gets Exhausting When You're the Only One Making the Classroom Work.
You repeat the directions. Manage every transition. Solve every little problem. Make every decision. Correct the same behaviors again and again.
You're repeating directions you know you already gave—sometimes more than once.
A simple transition turns into five minutes of reminders, waiting, and redirecting.
Students ask you what to do next instead of using routines they could learn to follow on their own.
You're solving problems students can learn to solve, discuss, or take responsibility for themselves.
The same few students do the talking while everyone else learns they can sit back and wait.
You're correcting the same behaviors again and again instead of teaching, practicing, and reinforcing what should happen instead.
That doesn't mean you need to get better at managing every little thing.
It means students need to be taught how to participate, contribute, and take more ownership.
WHAT CHANGES
From “I Have to Do Everything” to “My Students Know How Our Classroom Works.”
The goal isn't to hand your classroom over to students. You're still the teacher. You're still the leader. The difference is that students are intentionally taught how to take responsibility for more of what makes the classroom work.
Expectations are taught + practiced.
Students help build them, practice them, reflect on them, and understand what meeting the standard actually looks like.
Routines do more of the work.
Students know how common parts of the day work without needing you to narrate every step or give the same directions again.
More students participate.
Thinking, talking, listening, and contributing aren't left to the same few students every day.
Students contribute.
They take a more active role in the classroom instead of waiting for you to make every decision and do everything for them.
Students take more responsibility.
They learn how to handle more decisions, solve more problems, and take responsibility for their role in the classroom.
You get to teach more.
Less of your energy goes to reminding, repeating, correcting, and managing every little detail.
THE BIGGER GOAL
You still lead the classroom. You just don't have to be the only person making it work.

FROM SARAH
I Don't Think Teachers Need Someone Else's Classroom.
After more than 20 years in classrooms, instructional coaching, and professional learning, I've seen teachers handed program after program, strategy after strategy, and more ideas than they could ever possibly use.
I don't think you need more things to try. You need a strong foundation for making intentional decisions about your students, your classroom, and the teacher you want to be.
THAT'S WHY TEACH LIKE A TOP TEN™ EXISTS
I won't hand you someone else's classroom.
I'll help you build yours.
We'll build from the same foundation—High Expectations, Relationships, and Student Voice—and then make thoughtful decisions about what those look like with your students.
That's also why this isn't a membership you have to keep up with.
Learn what you need. Try it. See what happens. Bring back the question. Make an adjustment. Keep building.
Build it FIRST. Manage it SECOND.™
Because the more intentionally you build the classroom, the less of your day you have to spend managing every little thing.
You don't need to become a different teacher.
You keep getting better at being yours.
Monthly membership can be canceled anytime.
WHY TEACH LIKE A TOP TEN™?
You Don't Need More Teacher Stuff to Keep Up With.
You need a strong foundation, help knowing what matters right now, and somewhere to turn when something in your classroom isn't working.
NOT ANOTHER...
âś• Giant resource library you'll never have time to sort through.
âś• Stream of disconnected strategies, activities, and ideas.
âś• Someone else's version of what your classroom is supposed to look like.
INSTEAD, YOU GET...
âś“ A strong foundation built around High Expectations, Relationships + Student Voice.
âś“ One timely focus each month so you know what to work on now.
âś“ Live training + coaching that helps you turn the idea into something you can actually use.
âś“ A place to bring the question when your classroom doesn't go exactly as planned.

Teach Like a Top TEN™ stays focused on what matters now—and helps you stay one step ahead of what tends to come next.
