Hi, I’m Dr. Paige!

I help elementary teachers think differently about what we are teaching so our classrooms can become spaces for amazing learning potential to begin.

I’m proof that becoming a creative elementary teacher is possible.

And I have had a lot of jobs in education to practice my creative skills!

I have been an elementary teacher in three states: Virginia, Illinois, and Wisconsin and have worked in many different parts of the educational field. I’ve been a(n):

  • elementary school librarian,

  • teacher,

  • school district gifted assessment coordinator,

  • educational advisor for a non-for-profit scholarship program,

  • professional development coordinator, and

  • college professor in a school of education.

I have A LOT of educational information in my head! And I want to share it with all of you. This is what I was meant to do.

My podcast came up as a way to help novice and veteran teachers plan for more creative and engaging lessons and units- despite all of the standardization practices and curriculum boxes.

I believe teachers can be more creative if they just take a moment to ask the right questions for themselves and think about curriculum a bit differently. I can help you do this!

A little more about me…

  • My absolute favorite place to be at all times is the beach.

  • I love my morning cup of coffee... or two!

  • I am a self-proclaimed book nerd and researcher. That's why I like doing the reading and research for you.

  • My next move is to become an author and write, illustrate, and publish picture books for children.
