YOU'RE AN AMAZING EDUCATOR, BUT YOU MAY WONDER:
How can I quickly create engaging resources?
I know what it’s like…
You want your students to be excited about your content, but finding the right resources in a sea of choices makes your head spin!
You’re barely keeping your head above water with lesson planning, grading, differentiating, data tracking, conferences, lunch duty, and the list goes on. You may feel a little (or a lot) burned out,
You’ve been considering a "side hustle" but you have no clue where to start…
You've seen these creative, unique resources online, but you have no clue how to create them. Much less actually earn money selling them!
Let me guess...
✔️ You've thought about creating your own resources, but you're feeling totally overwhelmed by all the options for creating. Where am I supposed to start?!
✔️ You never have enough TIME to create meaningful lessons because you're spending so much time doing all the things (Not to mention trying to actually have a life outside of the classroom...)
✔️ You'd love to sell your resources online, but you believe it's all already been done before. What's the point of even trying?
IF THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT, THEN KEEP ON READING.
I think you already know...
You're a creative and resourceful teacher!
You know your content, and you know what students need.
You could successfully sell your resources if you had the right blueprint.
What if you could make beautiful resources just like these?
It's totally possible, and it doesn't have to take up your precious time.
IT'S SO MUCH EASIER THAN YOU THINK!
Imagine how it would feel to...
Customize your activities and lessons based on the unique needs of the students in your classroom. (Talk about differentiated instruction!)
Put your own spin on the content you love, creating new and exciting activities that you're proud to share with your students and colleagues.
Earn money for all your hard work by sharing your amazing resources with teachers around the world.
INTRODUCING
A self-paced program to learn how to create engaging printable and digital resources for the classroom and to sell online.
YES, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!
Hey there, I'm Lindsay.
I'm a nerdy, resource-creation-loving toddler mama who loves coffee, hiking, and hanging with my fam.
I'm a former high school math teacher turned full-time resource creator.
I've been creating resources for over 12 years, and I absolutely love to empower educators around the world to create their own amazing resources.
I believe creating resources should be simple and efficient. You deserve your nights and weekends back!
That's exactly why I created The Resource Academy. For teachers just like you!
THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME.
It's time to sharpen your resource creation skills!
✨ You have all the content knowledge and classroom experience you need to create interactive, engaging lessons.
🎉 Toss the confetti, because your days of searching the internet, stressing about how to create and sell resources are OVER.
🙌 Imagine a resource YOU created with your students in mind, something that builds on your years of experience by combining it with just the right amount of digital flare.
👨👩👧 Get your nights and weekends back! Your lessons will be prepped and ready to go in less time than it takes to figure out what's going on in that random activity you found online.
👉 And it doesn't stop there.👈
💰 Imagine repurposing the same resources you're creating for your students and sharing them with teachers around the world while earning a significant income. (Yep...it's possible! I replaced my teaching salary just by selling my resources online).
💗 Oh, and we're gonna keep this SIMPLE. I know you don't need one more thing on your plate. (In fact, I'll help you take things OFF your plate, sound good?)

"This course helped me a lot, I had been wanting to learn how to make my own resources for a long time but just didn't know where to start. From getting new fonts to creating graphics since when you copy and paste they don't look the same and fade, to creating a scavenger hunt and task cards. I had used Power Point before but only for presentations and in this course it taught me that we can do so much more with it."

Alright, Lindsay but...
I can already hear those doubts in your head, so let's talk about them!
🚫 Doubt: I don't have time to create resources.
✅ Truth: I know exactly how it feels to already have a thousand things on your plate. Here's the thing: I created this course with the busy teacher in mind (because I was a busy teacher 🙋♀️). I've created strategies that help you create resources *very* quickly. No, really. It's like scary fast.
🚫 Doubt: I'm not creative. I can't create unique resources. It's all already been done before.
✅ Truth: Creativity is a skill that can be learned. I definitely don't feel like a naturally creative person -- especially when it comes to visual creativity. But, after practicing with my own resources and finding a style that fits me and my brand, I was able to create unique resources that sell like hotcakes on TPT.
🚫 Doubt: It's too late to start a TPT store. The market is already saturated.
✅ Truth: There are 3 million+ teachers in the public school system in the US alone. And they all need resources. There is room for you in the TPT world. Here's what will set you apart: unique resources, repeat buyers, and a marketing plan that actually works (and I'll show you all of that inside TRA).
🚫 Doubt: I can't afford this right now.
✅ Truth: This program is one of the most reasonably priced programs for teacher creators and teacher sellers. And the best part? You can actually earn your money back. I earned over $500 dollars within my first few months on TPT. And many of our members do the same thing!
Imagine being able to create resources like these in under 15 minutes:

Can my school pay for TRA?

Can I pay with a different currency?
I've been there.
In 2011, I was an exhausted first-year math teacher without a textbook, pulling all-nighters scouring the Internet for high school math resources. I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I started researching better ways to create resources and looked into some new programs.
The more I created, the more I loved creating. My students started performing better, and I felt like I finally had my life back.
Then, I started selling my resources online and actually replaced my teaching salary.
I've done all the hard work for you. All you have to do is say yes, and let's get to creating!
