Brittany - The Colorado Classroom

Hey there, I’m Brittany! I taught for 17 years, all in 6th grade, but half of it was in an elementary school set-up, and half was in a middle school. I’ve taught every subject, but history and math are my loves. I’ve been making teacher curriculum since 2013 and enjoy helping teachers grow and thrive. When not working, I am a wife to my high school sweetheart and a mother to two wonderful kids.

I’ve been creating resources for teachers since 2012 and have worked in the eLearning industry for about five years as well!
