Modern teaching
made simpler

We help you blend traditional and modern teaching methods to become the teacher of your dreams.

You can create the learning experiences you want your students to have.

Modern innovations allow teachers to blend self-directed learning, teacher-led instruction, projects, nature, service, and countless other experiences together in ways previously unimaginable. As you design this new student experience,

. . . you will free up your time to support individuals and teams.

. . . you will have paths for struggling and advanced students.

. . . you will strike a wise balance of screens and no screens.

. . . you will feel confident and empowered.

Innovation is hard when the path isn't clear.

Let's work together to make it simpler.

I'm Heather Clayton Staker, founder of Ready to Blend. I've been teaching educators for 15 years. I love to create inspiring professional growth opportunities that leave you feeling ready to blend student experiences that improve this world. My team and I are here to help you become the school leader, teacher, or trainer of your dreams.
