In this episode, Danielle and Nicole talk to Pam about what first got her started with TeachersPayTeachers, why she has decided to focus her energy on writing specific products, how she pivoted to developing trainings for teachers (and what her average day looks like now that she has officially left the classroom and manages an entire team). Danielle and Nicole pick Pam’s brain about where students and teachers alike usually go wrong with the writing process, and what steps they can take to make sure that they are cultivating students who are confident and competent writers.

On this podcast with Rachel and Steph, Pam shares her personal and parenting journey with us (and we think you’ll all be fascinated to hear what she recently discovered) and shares her top tips for differentiated writing instruction. She also shares a mnemonic that we love!

Pam chats with the Teach Better Team about focusing on more than a test score, letting our students see that we’re excited about the content, and the importance of not just building relationships, but also having a plan.

Using my children’s book, Pappy’s Butterfly:  A Tale of Perseverance, I entertained and educated students on perseverance, figurative language, and the butterfly life cycle.
