Teaching Writing with Clarity and Intention
Practical writing frameworks and instructional tools for grades 6–10.
Helping teachers move students from formulaic writing to independent thinking.
What I Create
I design teacher-facing writing tools that support:
• Claims, evidence, and reasoning
• Revision as decision-making
• Clear organization
• Scaffolded independence
• Standards-aligned instruction
Rooted in classroom experience. Built for real teaching.
Hi, I’m Ali — a teacher, writer, and creator behind The Teaching Compass. After a decade in education, I’ve learned that calm classrooms start with calm teachers. I use my yoga background to balance your resources with calm and peace. Here you’ll find mindful resources, practical ELA tools, and simple routines to help you create more connection — and less chaos — in your day.
