Praise for The Empowered ELA Teacher
“Mitchell and Cannata’s enthusiasm jumps off the page in this lively, illuminating guidebook for ELA teachers. They not only offer dozens of wildly creative ideas for engaging and challenging students, but they also reveal the secret to simplified lesson planning that will help you regain your sanity, take control of your time, and show up in the classroom day after day with the same passion you had when you decided to become a teacher. The best part: Their writing is so relatable and accessible you won’t want to put the book down. Prepare to be seriously inspired.”
~ Ginny Graves, award-winning journalist and author, with Carol Novello, of Mutual Rescue: How Adopting a Homeless Animal Can Save You, Too
"Caitlin and Jessica's willingness to be candid and totally transparent about their trials and triumphs in (and outside) the classroom allow every teacher to feel seen. And rather than offering quick fixes, they get to the heart of being a good teacher, which starts with the right mindset and is sustainable because of good systems. Every single educator who ever feels overworked or disillusioned should read this book."
~ Kara Wojick
“Dive into The Empowered ELA Teacher and let Caitlin and Jessica take you from a stressed hot mess to a calm cool cucumber. The transition will require work on your part, but batch planning, rinsing and repeating, and engaging your students will make your teaching life better and more fulfilling. Reading the book and taking action will help you become the rock star teacher you've always wanted to be.”
~ Leslie Fitzgerald
