I’m glad you’re here.
Serving teachers who are committed to being great is my passion!
Hey You! I’m Donna Link! I believe the best thing we can do for our students is to love our teachers, and I LOVE spoiling teachers for this very reason.
I believe every student deserves a great teacher, not by chance, but by design. And I am here to help you design your best teacher life so that you feel fulfillment, purpose and joy from doing the most important job in the world…teaching our children.
I LOVE helping elementary teachers create classrooms where students and teachers thrive socially, emotionally and academically; and design instruction that is authentic, purposeful, personalized and EMPOWERING.
I truly believe EVERY child WILL learn when we connect with them personally, inspire them to pursue their passions, focus on their strengths and teach them in ways that are engaging, empowering and personally meaningful.
AND, I believe it begins with acknowledging that we have to love, inspire and support ourselves first!
Gain the CLARITY and CONFIDENCE you need to set proper boundaries!
Through creating a sense of belonging in the classroom, building lasting relationships and embracing leadership experiences and opportunities for ourselves and our students, we can design our teacher lives to be complete, fulfilling and rewarding without feeling the overwhelm and burnout, and without sacrificing quality time with friends, family, and for yourself!
My Teacher ❤️ to Yours
In the heart of our educational landscape, amidst the laughter, the curious questions, and the boundless energy, stands a group of extraordinary individuals – our teachers. Every day, you bravely step into your classrooms, whether physical or virtual, armed not just with lesson plans, but with patience, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to shaping young minds.
Your journey is not without its challenges. The ever-shifting sands of the modern classroom demand flexibility beyond measure. Adapting to new technologies, navigating diverse learning needs, and bridging the gap between physical and digital realms can be an uphill climb. And yet, you approach each challenge with a determination that is truly commendable.
Amid the noise of curricula and assessments, you listen – to the individual struggles, the tiny victories, and the unspoken concerns of your students. You are the steady anchor for young souls navigating a world of new experiences. It’s a role that goes far beyond textbooks and worksheets. It’s about instilling confidence, nurturing curiosity, and building the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
But as you uplift others, we must also remember to uplift you. The weight of your responsibilities can at times feel overwhelming, and it’s okay to acknowledge that. In the journey of giving, remember to carve out moments for yourself. Seek support from your peers, lean on the strength of your educational community, and practice the self-care you so readily offer to your students.
Amidst the challenges, never forget the impact you’re making. You’re not just teaching lessons; you’re shaping futures. Your dedication resonates long after the school bell rings, leaving an indelible mark on the lives you touch.
In this narrative of education, you are the protagonists. You embody resilience, compassion, and the boundless spirit of learning. Remember that your efforts are seen, your challenges are understood, and your contributions are celebrated.
HUA! (Heard, Understood and Acknowledged)
With admiration and gratitude,
