Without Further Ado . . . Drumroll, Please

We’ve got some super-exciting news to share: After months of brainstorming, hard work, and, yes, a lot of coffee, we finally have the cover for our new book, Prepared Classroom! This is our latest labor of love and is packed with all the good stuff: evidence-based practices, practical advice, printables, and ready-to-go lessons that combine behavior management with learning strategies. The best part? It’s hitting shelves in December, just in time to help you kick off the new year with a classroom that’s both organized and engaged.

Prepared Classroom isn’t the type of book you read cover to cover and pass along to a colleague (though we totally get it if you want to share the love). Prepared Classroom is meant to be your trusty sidekick—the one you keep on your desk, scribble notes in, and pull out when you need a game plan. Whether it’s the first week of school, midyear, or the last few weeks, this book has got you covered all year long!

Now, let’s talk about the cover. We designed the cover with you in mind. You know how professional books sometimes look like, well . . . dense textbooks? Yeah, we didn’t want that. We wanted it to be beautiful, calming, and uplifting. Something that sits beautifully in your teacher workspace and makes you feel joy when you see it. So, we went with a cover that feels like a peaceful sunrise—fresh, serene, and full of the promise of new beginnings. We want it to be a reminder that no matter how the school year is going, you can always hit Refresh with a prepared plan. Pretty clever, right?

Oh, and it gets even better—it’s spiral-bound! This little detail was a must for us, making it super easy for you to flip through, use the lessons, and copy the printables without fuss. We’re thrilled that it turned out exactly as we hoped.

Now, without further ado . . . drumroll, please . . . Here’s the cover! Let us know what you think!
