Solutions for the Secondary ELA Teacher
Say goodbye to your Sunday scaries with free resources, lesson plan ideas, and other useful tools from Mondays Made Easy.
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!
