You love teaching. You're also exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep stopped fixing a long time ago. Both of those things can be true at the same time, and I'm not here to pretend otherwise.
 

I'm Dr. Erin Sponaugle, a full-time art teacher, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author of Teachaholic. For 24 years I've been in classrooms, fighting burnout from the inside, figuring out how creativity, honesty, and a whole lot of real talk can keep good teachers in this profession.

That's what I do here, for teachers who are tired of being tired, and for schools and districts that want to stop losing their best people before it's too late.
 

The teachers who change everything aren't the ones who do what everyone else does. They're the ones who dare to be different and be the difference. That's who this space is for.
 

Start with the book, grab the free action guide, or find out how to bring me to your next event. Together, we're turning the page to the future of the profession.
