This 2-hr virtual professional development will take you from overwhelmed to EQUIPPED as you develop relationships and communication strategies that will simplify your life as a secondary science teacher.
“I was able to start this year with such a positive mindset and I felt prepared when students came back! I’m 1.5 weeks into the school year and I feel I’ve already built relationships with students! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I highly recommend this course!! It was worth the money and Rebecca has such great (and useful) ideas to simplify your life! .”
The goal of this mini-course is to equip you with strategies and systems to make building relationships with key players in your job easier. You will receive strategies and support documents to equip you to maintain relationships in a way that feels sustainable, and also serves both you and your students.
At the end of this course, you will have a created a manageable action plan to build and maintain relationships with students, parents, admin, and coworkers.
This mini-course is the second “unit” in my comprehensive Secondary Science Simplified® virtual PD bundle. To check out the full bundle with over 15 hours of virtual professional development, click here.

After going through the checkout page, you will receive a link to click and download a zip file of all of the resources included.
When unzipped, the folder includes:
Most teachers can complete the entire course in 2 hours.
This course doesn’t have a lot of additional homework, and it will take 2 hours to watch all of the video content (broken down into 4 separate video lessons).
It does not. All of the instructional content is delivered as pre-recorded videos on YouTube. This allows you the flexibility to work ENTIRELY at your OWN PACE and to consume the content whenever it best fits into YOUR schedule!
I totally get that, which is EXACTLY why I created a free virtual PD mini-course you can try out first before making an investment in this one!
My Labs When Limited mini-course is entirely free and designed to equip teachers who feel like they have limited time, resources, space, and energy to execute labs. It is set up exactly like this mini-course is so you can see the style before you invest!
In addition, if you find value in this smaller free course, you will ABSOLUTELY find value in this one!
Still unsure? Check out my free podcast for secondary science teachers here! This will help you discern if you like my teaching style as well.
I of course cannot speak for ALL schools and districts, but from my personal experience (and what I’ve heard from many, many teachers I’ve become connected with through It’s Not Rocket Science®), most PD opportunities provided by the district are not created by people with any classroom experience and are rarely relevant or applicable to what you are doing in your classroom. Many PD opportunities that are provided by the school are generic and not specific to being a secondary science teacher.
Oftentimes I found that these types of PD courses ADDED to my load rather than lessening it.
THIS course, however, was written BY a secondary science teacher FOR secondary science teachers.
Everything in it is PRACTICAL and MANAGEABLE. No theories or hypothetical examples that are completely unrealistic. Every example will be from my own experiences, with my own unpredictable students. Every strategy and system will be one I have actually used myself – both in a public high school and in a private school. I’ve been in your shoes and thus you can count on this course, and all my others, to be authentic and practical.
If you are anything like me, you love building relationships with students, but not so much with every other person you have to interact with as part of your job. Parents, especially, feel like an obstacle, and not the asset that they actually are. You barely have time to get all of your lesson plans made more than a day in advance and keep up with your never-ending “to grade” pile, let alone have time to connect with coworkers and admin.
If any of this resonates with you, than this mini-course is for you. I share everything I know about building relationships with students, parents, admin, and coworkers that’s effective in the short-term and sustainable for the long-term. You are NOT alone in this job, and this mini-course will equip you to feel less overwhelmed and isolated in your work.
Unlike my other mini-courses, this one can really be taken by any teacher. However, please know that ALL of my teaching experience has been as a high school science teacher (with the exception of a few sections of 8th grade physical science a few years at the small private school I taught in.) Because of this, all of the information taught in my courses will be delivered from that perspective.
Every example I use is specific to secondary science teachers. If you are NOT a high school or middle school science teacher, I recommend first checking out my free podcast and seeing if you find value in it. If you do, then I think you would still find great value in this mini-course.
YES! As soon as you purchase the mini-course you will immediately receive a link that you can click to download a zip file. The zip file contains a folder that holds all of the resources and video links.
