Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
You got into teaching English because you love writing and literature, but turning your passion into daily lesson plans is far more difficult than you expected.
You've found that there are some things you were never taught (like grammar) that now you are expected to teach to your students. Plus, you need to make it engaging!
You know your students need to become better writers, but breaking down the writing process is so complex, and it's hard to even know where to start.
Your students aren't buying in to what you're teaching. You need to make it more relevant, but you don't know how.
You love your students, but the daily planning part of the job is making you wonder if you can stay in this profession.
You want to try innovative things in your classroom like using podcasts and project-based learning, but the mere thought of planning for all of that overwhelms you.
If it does, then you know something has to change.
Join MembershipThat's why we created the
English Teacher Vault.
We are actual English teachers creating resources for other English teachers.
I opened this vault with my own resources accumulated over 15 years of being in the classroom, but now I have enlisted the help of other amazing English teachers to continue adding resources to the vault.
Combined we have over 50 years of experience in the English classroom.
We know what works with real students.
Way Better Than Worksheets
You may have bought crappy resources online in the past.
This is not that.
This is not a site full of worksheets.
Our lessons include mentor texts, allow students to engage in higher-level thinking, encourage students to take risks in their writing, be creative, take part in book clubs and more.
And everything is low prep or no prep for you.
It might feel like the only way to have great lessons is through creating them yourself. Not anymore.
This is your solution.
When you join our community, you'll get hundreds of research-based, low-prep lessons.
You'll get to teach engaging relevant lessons, without spending hours creating them.

Let's Take a Look Inside
The English Teacher Vault is the help you need to bring relevant, engaging lessons to your students that they'll love, so that you don't have to make everything from scratch!
What Teachers Are Saying:
"This is everything I've ever wanted in a grammar curriculum! The first time I used this lesson in my classroom, my jaw was practically on the floor with the level of engagement that my classes had in the lesson and the content."
Antoinette V.
"We loved the Imagined Life unit, and I plan to use it over and over again! My students were fully engaged and excited to see if they could properly identify the subjects in the podcast. So, great job, and thank you for giving me a phenomenal non-fiction unit to use with my kids."
Anna W.
"Your resources are a God-send!! I am so glad I found you and ETV. I am excited to uncover more hands-on lessons in the Vault. Wish I had found you sooner!"
Heather M.
"This is how I have envisioned teaching, but creating all the resources was daunting. You've made it easy! Thank you for these engaging lessons!"
Courtney N.
"The lessons on grit are really awesome!! I am truly excited to run through this during our first week back at school. I think that with Covid, our kids need to take a step back and look at what grit is -- how they can be a bit tougher, a bit more gritty!! Thank you for putting this all together!!! It is great!"
Natalie B.
"Detailed lesson plans are included with purpose, objectives, materials needed, and step-by-step instructions. The slides to accompany the guided notes are amazing as well. I also appreciate how the materials are to the point without extra fluff. Perfect for high school students! Thank you!!"
