Are you stuck in a cycle of having a never-ending "to do" list?

You are constantly spending time outside of contract hours for things you need inside of your classroom.

And the never-ending list of things to buy for next week’s lessons keeps getting bigger…

Including bundles, materials, consumables, etc. ALL. OF. IT.

…and it’s piling up faster than the dishes in your kitchen sink.

And to be honest with you, this is just not something you (or anyone) can sustain for an entire teaching career.

Between work, home, and everything else in between, nobody benefits when you are burnt out, tired, and exhausted.

I get it and it’s not your fault.

If you are like most struggling teachers, then chances are you are operating from society’s unspoken message that we are expected to perform at a higher caliber with less and less support every single year.

The thing is… if you don’t change how you approach lesson planning and prep, then feeling burnt out, tired, and exhausted will remain your reality.

But listen, this doesn’t have to be you.

You deserve to experience the support that comes with having access to unlimited teaching materials that let you plan quickly, prep in minutes, and differentiate for ALL of your students.

Let’s reignite your spark!

Hear from teachers who have rediscovered their spark!

You can enroll in a monthly or yearly plan and have unlimited downloads available for all of your teaching needs.

We know that the burden of finding resources for students frequently falls on teachers’ shoulders (and wallets).

According to our research, the average teacher spends between $240-$600 a year on classroom supplementals.

Which is one of the major reasons why we created Education to the Core Premium — a place where you can find all the resources you need without paying for individual bundles. Many members are able to save money by cutting out other subscriptions & resource bundle purchases after joining.

Premium offers two easy options to enroll:

As a small but mighty team of experienced teachers, we know how much time and energy you spend on lesson planning.

That’s why we’ve created a one-stop search engine for teachers to quickly pull the resources you need — whether you want to plan weeks or minutes ahead.

While Premium won’t eliminate your planning time, it will save you valuable hours that you can spend on other activities for your classroom or yourself.

Most Premium members report saving 1-2 hours on planning per week after joining.

60% said it saved them 80 hours a year of lesson planning & prep while 30% said it saved them 120 hours a year — that’s five whole days worth of planning!

While there’s no shortage of marketplaces with resources available for primary teachers,

Education to the Core Premium is the only teacher resource website designed to eliminate the need to purchase other resources.

Our membership contains 20,000+ teacher-designed resources (by actual teachers) for all core subject areas to promote the best learning experience for your students.

Hi! I'm Emily and I've helped thousands of teachers take back their weekends.
I know firsthand how much work goes into preparing for every lesson.

As a new teacher, I struggled with the preparation and organization required for my lessons. I spent hours creating my own resources, including slides and printables, just to keep up. However, after a while, I realized that other teachers could benefit from the resources I had created, so I began sharing them.

As more and more teachers began to use my resources, I realized that I had found my niche – creating high-quality, engaging classroom resources for K-3 teachers. And that’s how Education to the Core was born.

As ETTC grew, I quickly realized I couldn’t do it all on my own. That’s when I began seeking out experts in the field of curriculum design and primary teacher education to create the best possible resources. I assembled a team of experienced educators with diverse skill sets and a shared vision for creating engaging and inclusive classrooms. Today, the ETTC team is comprised of leaders dedicated to bringing top-notch resources to classrooms around the world.

Education to the Core Premium gives K-3 teachers instant access to over 20,000+ classroom resources and printables, including printables, teaching slides, centers, games, visual aides, task cards, STEM challenges, digital resources, and MORE!

The best part? You’ll have unlimited access to all of these resources, so you can use them again and again.

But ETTC Premium isn’t just about saving you time – it’s about providing you with the tools you need to create a truly dynamic and engaging classroom environment. An environment where every student has an opportunity to see themselves reflected in their lessons. Our team of veteran teachers carefully selects and designs each resource to ensure that they are state-of-the-art, reliable, and inclusive.

So if you’re a K-3 teacher who wants to spend less time on prep and more time doing the things you love, sign up for Education to the Core Premium today. Join our community of passionate educators and let’s build stronger classrooms together!

CANCEL ANYTIME — NO CONTRACTS!

As teachers, your time, and money are precious. That’s why ETTC Premium members can cancel anytime. We know that you’ll love having access to over 20,000+ teacher-crafted resources.

But if you don’t feel like they help you save time, money, and stress on planning and preparing lessons, don’t sweat it. You can cancel anytime by emailing membership@educationtothecore.com. You’ll finish out the rest of your paid membership and won’t be charged for any additional months. No strings attached, no contracts to worry about. We’ve got your back!
