“So, I want to tell you a story. Before Covid, I had decent STAAR scores for my school (usually in the 70s). We are a small school in Austin that has about 80% ELL. So, I was pretty proud of what I could accomplish with them… Right before STAAR last year, I stumbled upon your TPT store and was very impressed. I knew that I needed to implement your STAAR strategies this year… I did all of the planning for my class, using your resources, praying that my kids would internalize these strategies. Somehow, they did. We got our scores back yesterday: 94% pass, with 42% reaching mastery. I had amazing moments with students and parents today as I let them know that the kids did awesome! Debriefing with my principal, I let her know that your training made the difference!”

“I attended your professional development session yesterday for Laredo ISD, and I wanted to express how much I enjoyed the resources you shared. Typically, I find that many PD sessions don’t always align with our students’ needs or the material we need to cover in our classes. However, I found your resources to be student-friendly, engaging, instruction-driven, and easily applicable. The materials you provided are exactly what we, as teachers, need to effectively meet our students’ needs in an engaging way. I’m eagerly awaiting an email from our dean, as I am ready to start implementing these resources right away. Thank you for your support and for sharing your wealth of knowledge.”

“My first stop when I need a new resource is In Between the Lattes. Everything, and I do mean everything, has been beyond amazing. My students have told me so many things make so much more sense when we use these resources than when we use our curriculum. Can’t recommend enough. If you teach reading/language arts in Texas and you’re in a tested grade level, buy this. No questions asked, do not pass go, do not collect $200, just push add to cart and check out. You won’t be sorry! Everything you need is right at your fingertips. Brittaney has done all of the hard work, you just have to show up and use it. You’ll thank her, and yourself, for pulling the trigger and buying it.”

“I just wanted to tell Brittaney McKay thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work she put into designing these products. I cannot speak much on STAAR except we are done today. Almost every student hugged me, thanked me, and told me they were prepared. They said the Bootcamp really helped a LOT. They said every strategy taught: PROVE IT, Magic 3, Daily SCRs helped more than I’ll ever know. This is my 25th year teaching and first year back to TX after being gone for 12 years. You made my class move smoothly. If anyone in TX is on the fence about joining the membership, DON’T BE. It is worth every dime and penny! Thank you again so much!”
