The Deeply Human Teaching Club
Plan inquiry units your students will argue about.
(in a good way)Build your units around one juicy question. Do it next to other high school teachers who are building a culture of inquiry too.
It's time to make the learning come alive in the room.
Credentialing programs get us into the classroom, but they're... less than stellar at providing innovative ideas for high school teachers.
It took me years of trial and error to build these systems. I don't want that for you. So I put everything I've learned (and more) into this club.
This is for you if
- You teach high school, in any subject.
- You care more about teaching good thinking than hitting every standard.
- You want to teach with inquiry, but nobody gave you a map.
- You still belly laugh during the school day.
Not for you if you want worksheets to grab and go. This is a place to build. (But I do have some really cool templates to help the process.)
Self-paced workshops. A library of resources. Custom interactive tools built for educators.

Essential Questions
Learn what makes a question juicy, and the 6-phase process I use to keep it alive all unit long.
Interactive tool: the EQ Lab -
Better Assessments
Build a unit assessment that's way better than a multiple choice test. Think mock trials, museum exhibits and podcasts.
Premium: the Six-Facet Idea Bank + 3 ready-to-fill packs -
Cross-Curricular Connections
Weave in the songs, articles, art and voices the textbook leaves out.
Premium: coming next -
Gamify Your HS Classroom
Use games and play on purpose, so the unit has a good ebb and flow.
Premium: coming next
- The Unit in 7 challenge. A whole unit planned, 10 minutes a day

Okay, but...
What's the difference between $9 and $19?
Standard gets you the question: the Essential Questions workshop, the EQ Lab, the Unit in 7 challenge, Q+A with me and the community. Premium gets you the whole unit: Better Assessments and the workshops after it, the resource library and Drea's Desk.
How does the free trial work?
You get 7 days to look around before you're charged. Cancel before day 7 and you won't pay a thing.
Can I start with Standard and upgrade later?
Yes. Start with the question and move up to Premium whenever you're ready.
What subjects is this for?
Any high school subject. My background is social studies, but juicy questions work in English, science, math, psych, art and everything in between.
What if I can't make the Q+A?
Post your question any time. I answer during my Q+A windows, and everyone learns from the answers.
Will this fit my pacing guide?
Yes. Your question anchors the unit. Your pacing guide still runs the calendar. Required textbook and district tests included.
Can my school pay for it?
Often, yes. Grab the ready-made request email on my school funding page.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel anytime.
Students rise to the standard you set. So do we.Drea
