Hi!
I’m so happy to meet you.
My name is Daina, and I support secondary teachers in developing life-long readers and writers. In recognizing the challenges of navigating and succeeding in the 21st Century, I also provide resources for educators to equip students with appropriate skills for our modern world.
Above all, my goal is to take the hassle out of your lesson planning – I know that energy is better spent focussing on your students, your family, and yourself. I started Mondays Made Easy as a passion project to bring more joy and ease into educators’ lives. I’m a firm believer in balancing work obligations with a healthy and happy lifestyle, and I can’t wait to help you with that!
