Meet Your Instructor

Hi! I’m Roxanna Elden. I’ve spent nearly two decades helping teachers improve their craft while making their day-to-day lives more manageable.

As a National Board Certified teacher turned mentor and author, I’ve helped thousands of teachers navigate rough stretches of their careers. The through-line of all my work has been cutting through the cliches to offer honest, practical guidance.

Now, I offer courses that bring the best of what I’ve learned straight to you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be a current K-12 teacher to take the course? What about college-level teachers? Or student teachers? Or people who want to be teachers?

This course is for people who are currently teaching any subject at any level. College is fine. Student teaching is fine. And it’s fine to take the course if you are on a break within your teaching career. You should, however, be at least one day into your experience as an educator. If you haven’t stood in front of your first classroom yet, this course won’t be a match. (But a future course might, so stay tuned!)

I’m already so busy! How much of a time commitment are we talking about here?

You’ll be working at your own pace so you can split up the material as you see fit. However, the videos and activities in this program are designed so you could complete them in about two hours per week over a course of six weeks.

My background as an author has made me a relentless editor; the videos in this course are tightly-edited to get to the point quickly, with the best and most concise explanations I can offer. All videos clock in under 15 minutes. Your part of each activity will likely take between 10 minutes and an hour.

Email reminders go out on Saturday mornings, because the morning after a full night of sleep is often when you’re in the best headspace to think strategically. Additionally, some of the lessons will help you find more time in your week; my hope is that this course will “pay for itself” in saved time.

What is the cancelation and refund policy?

Because all course materials are immediately available upon signing up for the course, there are no refunds.

However, you can cancel your subscription and will not be charged for the upcoming month. If you cancel, you will retain access to all course materials through the end of the billing period.

Can I book a 1-on-1 Zoom session without joining the course?

Because of limited availability, 1-on-1 Zoom sessions are only available to current course members.

If you signed up for the basic Maintain and Stay Sane course plan, you'll find access to book 1-on-1 Zoom sessions within your course materials.

I have a question that is not listed here. How can I get in touch?

What's with all the cats?

All the course pictures are meant to be variations on the "hang in there" cat poster. They are works in progress. But then again, so is a teaching career.
