Our approach to teaching and learning using evidence-based practices.
How can I give students meaningful, independent learning opportunities so I can meet with them one-on-one and in small groups?"
That question led to the creation of Daily 5, a framework that reshaped literacy instruction by teaching students how to work independently with intention and joy. Then came CAFE, a system for strategy-based instruction, assessment, and conferring. These weren’t just “programs”—they were tools teachers could use to trust their instincts, honor student agency, and build classrooms that ran on purpose, not just plans.
Over the years, we've shared those tools with teachers around the world. We’ve led packed conference sessions, published six books, and sent out over 900 weekly teaching tips—all while staying grounded in what matters most: empowering teachers with resources that reflect the real work of teaching.
Prepared Classroom then helped you see the high-impact practices that make teaching strong.
The Teaching Structure shows how these practices and frameworks live across a day of teaching. How a lesson moves into student practice, how independence creates space for responsive teaching, and how learning is carried forward.
This is where the work becomes visible. And where teaching begins to feel more connected, manageable, and purposeful.
Today, our work centers on helping teachers learn and use this structure in their own classrooms.
Watch the free workshop to see the structure in action.
Since 2006, we’ve grown from two teachers sharing what worked in their classrooms to a team supporting educators across all 50 U.S. states and 51 countries. Our frameworks are grounded in research, proven in practice, and trusted by thousands of educators who use our tools to elevate their teaching and bring more joy to their days.
Here’s what drives us:
Every resource we create comes from real questions, real classrooms, and real kids. Our tools are shaped by what teachers are trying to figure out every day.
We believe you know your students best. Our job is to equip you with the tools and knowledge to make the right calls in the moment—not to script your day.
We’re ad-free and product-neutral. If we recommend something, it’s because we use it and believe in it.
We’re committed to continuous learning and refining our work as the field grows. We don’t chase trends—we build what lasts.
Whether you’re a new teacher finding your rhythm or a veteran refining your craft, our goal is to support your growth with tools that fit your current context.
We believe in teachers. We believe in the magic of a well-timed mini lesson, the power of a purposeful routine, and the spark that happens when a student suddenly gets it. And we believe that every teacher deserves tools that help them teach with confidence and clarity.
Teach Daily isn’t just our name—it’s our reminder.
