The problem isn’t you.

You’re not too sensitive, too burned out, or not cut out for this. The system is broken — and you’ve been trying to fix it by working harder.

That’s not working.

It was never going to work.

What actually works is a framework. Not a pep talk. Not a self-care checklist. A real, repeatable system for building a teaching life that’s sustainable — one that doesn’t ask you to choose between being excellent and being okay.

That’s what the STRONG Teacher Core Membership is.

What is the STRONG Teacher Core Membership?

The STRONG Teacher Core Membership is a membership for teachers who are done surviving and ready to build something better.

It’s not a course you buy and forget. It’s not a Facebook group full of venting. It’s a combination of premium content and real community — delivered every week, grounded in research, and built around a framework that actually holds up in a real classroom, in a real school, with real kids who need you to still be standing in May.

You already get the weekly STRONG Teacher Newsletter — that’s free and it stays free.

What the STRONG Teacher Core Membership adds is everything else.

Monthly deep-dive issues. Longer, richer, with coaching prompts that ask you to stop and actually engage. Each one cites real research and ends with a specific, small action plan. The goal is simple — you should know exactly what you’re doing on Monday.

Four seasonal survival guides timed to the hardest moments of the school calendar — Back to School, the February Slump, Testing Season, and End of Year. Delivered before you’re in the thick of it, because by then it’s too late.

Full access to The STRONG Teachers Lounge. A community of educators doing this work alongside you, weekly engagement prompts, monthly challenges, and every course and resource in the Classroom — all included under one membership.

One price. Everything included. $79/year or $15/month.

The STRONG Framework

Everything here is built around six pillars. Not six more things to add to your day — six ways of looking at your teaching life differently.

S — Successes
What’s working right now, even if it’s small? Most teachers are wired to notice what’s broken. This pillar rewires that. Recognition over perfection, every time.

T — Thoughts & Takeaways
Reflection isn’t a luxury. It’s how you stop repeating the same exhausting patterns. This pillar is about making meaning from experience — before the year runs away from you.

R — Recovery & Renewal
Rest is not a reward for finishing everything. You will never finish everything. Recovery is a practice, and it belongs in your week deliberately — not accidentally on a Sunday when you finally collapse.

O — Optimize
Not a complete overhaul. Not a productivity system that takes 45 minutes to maintain. One percent better. Kaizen. Small improvements, compounding over time.

N — No to Perfectionism
The things outside your control will drain you if you let them. This pillar is about knowing the difference between what you can influence and what you can’t — and building Stoic practices that make that distinction real, not just theoretical.

G — Gratitude & Growth
Not toxic positivity. Not “just be grateful.” This is Ikigai — purpose alignment, presence, and the kind of growth that actually sustains you rather than depleting you further.

This framework is grounded in 26 years in classrooms, Ikigai coaching certification, and real research from education, psychology, and philosophy. It’s not motivational. It’s operational.

What STRONG Teacher Core Members Receive

Premium Content — Delivered to Your Inbox

Every Wednesday: The weekly STRONG Teacher Newsletter. One practical strategy. Research-backed. Built for an exhausted teacher on a Wednesday afternoon who needs something real, not something aspirational. Free subscribers get this too — it’s not going anywhere.

Every month: A deep-dive issue. Longer, richer, with coaching prompts that ask you to stop and actually engage. Each one cites real research and ends with a specific, small action plan. The goal is simple — you should know exactly what you’re doing on Monday.

Four times a year: Seasonal survival guides timed to the hardest moments of the school calendar.

• Back to School — Managing new-year anxiety, building sustainable systems from day one before the year builds momentum without you
• The February Slump — Mid-year recovery, energy management, finding purpose when the grind feels endless
• Testing Season — Stress management, protecting your relationships with students when the pressure is highest
• End of Year — Avoiding the final sprint burnout, closing with intention, recovering over summer instead of just collapsing

In a full year, STRONG Teacher Core members receive 52 weekly newsletters, 8 monthly deep-dive issues, and 4 seasonal guides.

The STRONG Teachers Lounge — Community and Courses

Lounge access is bundled with your membership. You don’t pay twice.

The STRONG Teachers Lounge community — Weekly STRONG Framework engagement prompts, peer accountability, monthly challenges, and a space where teachers are actually talking about sustainability instead of just surviving.

Full Classroom access — Every course and resource, included. No upsells.

• The STRONG Teacher Course
• The STRONG Year (month-by-month resources following the school calendar, August through July)
• Stoic Teacher Resource
• Thirty-Day Challenges for Teachers
• Every new resource added throughout the year

Who This Is For

Teachers who are great at their job but exhausted by it.

Teachers who want frameworks over feelings — research and philosophy made practical, not another motivational quote.

Teachers who are willing to examine their own systems and choices, even when it’s uncomfortable, because they know the alternative is worse.

Teachers who are done with surface-level self-care and ready to build something that actually holds.

Who This Is Not For

If you’re looking for a place to vent without working toward something different, this isn’t it.

If you want quick fixes and instant transformation, this isn’t it either.

The STRONG Core is for teachers doing the slow, real work of building a sustainable practice. That work pays off — but it’s not fast and it’s not dramatic. It’s Kaizen. One percent at a time.

The Investment

$79/year — Less than $7/month. One year of weekly content, monthly deep dives, seasonal guides, community access, and every course in the Classroom.

$15/month — Full access, month to month.

Both options include everything. No tiers within the tier. No courses held back.

A Note From Jeremy

I’ve been teaching for 26 years. I’ve seen what happens when good teachers keep trying to fix a broken system by giving more of themselves — and I’ve lived some of it too.

The STRONG Teacher Core Membership exists because I needed something like this when I was in the thick of it. Frameworks that made sense. A community that wasn’t just commiserating. Research that gave me permission to do things differently without feeling like I was letting anyone down.

I’m not a guru. I’m a teacher who figured some things out the hard way and built a system around them. If you’re tired of being tired, I think this is worth your time.

Come build something sustainable.
