As a music teacher, I was skeptical about the club. So many times I’ll find something that sounds fantastic but just doesn’t work in my music classroom. What I love most about the club is it’s not subject/grade specific. There are components for elementary and components for secondary and I can use both, depending on if I’m planning for 6th grade or 8th grade.
Take the advice of Angela and DO NOT try to use everything all at once! You will feel overwhelmed. I picked one little thing to focus on per month and I’ll add to that this school year.
Club materials are available for life! Take the plunge! You won’t regret it!!

This program totally worked for me. The resources helped me streamline my thinking and processes, which gave me more time to be brilliant. I did not use everything because I knew I would get to those pieces next year. I’m a seasoned teacher, but there is so much here – some things helped me tweak my practice other resources helped me revamp my practice.
I look forward to using some of the resources I didn’t get to this year. I HIGHLY recommend it for any teacher who wants to take back more of their life and be a more balanced person for themselves, their family and the world around them. This profession deserves the best we have to offer, but we deserve the best of ourselves first and foremost – this program helped me prioritize myself first.

If you choose one thing to do this year, let it be this.

Angela Watson’s 40 hour teacher work week club has been amazing!!! I’m so glad I joined!! Angela’s weekly emails, her encouragement, practical advice and extremely useful materials have been a lifesaver!! I also love that I can listen to her in my car on the way to school. Her list making system has been fantastic for me.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Angela Watson’s 40 hour teacher work week club!!!!!

As a new teacher starting my second year when I joined the cohort in July 2020, I was overwhelmed before school began due to not knowing what the year was going to look like amidst Covid. As we all know, the year was a challenge beyond words, but I was so glad that I had the resources available from 40htw. They were always what I needed at the moment as if they were designed for me. And, most of the time I didn’t know I needed it until I looked at them!… lol. I also liked that I could access them on my schedule and not worry about attending a virtual class. I also love that I have access to it forever! I am so grateful that I took the leap and joined the cohort. Now that summer is here I will really dig in deeper to prepare for the new year. I love knowing that I have 40htw in my back pocket as a resource. I would definitely recommend 40htw!

During the formidable Covid year of hybrid instruction, I discovered incredible support when I needed encouragement the most. I feel grateful for the way Angela’s club bolstered my growth with practical instruction strategies and meaningful curriculum. What a deal! My PDL money was well spent.

Using the 40 hour club has helped me feel more confident as an educator and has helped me break down my to-do list in to manageable tasks to keep me from being overwhelmed. I started using the club my second year teaching and it has helped immensely with organization, time management, and an smoother school year over all. Things in the club have helped me go from being paralyzed by my to-do list and spinning my wheels to using my time well and being much more productive. This club is absolutely worth it wether you are just starting out or if you have been teaching for a long time there are tons of ways to make your life simpler and more efficient. Not everything will work for you, but some will and those small changes will really add up to big results just like Angela says. So if you are on the fence, give it a try and see how much better it will make your teaching life!

Teachers never stop searching for the “new best thing/resource” PLEASE STOP! This is an investment in YOU and your SANITY! Imagine all the stress and uncertainty brought by the pandemic and how much searching you needed for hybrid instruction. This program has it all and best part you have all these resources for LIFE!. Joining was the best professional decision I ever made.

Before joining this club, I thought I was efficient. I would get tons of things done, quickly, and to a certain degree of perfection. I thought I would learn a few tips and shortcuts that would help me in my work…was that ever an understatement!!
What I gained instead was a better way of life- a more forgiving and realistic mindframe. I understand now how to prioritize and how to let go of meaningless task. Most importantly, I am WAY less stressed (and I didn’t even know I was so stressed).
During my first year of the club, I was reassigned to teach a new grade level online all year, since I became pregnant. In the past, I would’ve been overwhelmed and been a perfectionnist. Thanks to the club, I ENJOYED this year, learned a lot, set boundaries on my time and I think it was my best year yet!!
Now, as I set into my year off (maternity leave in Canada), I am using the principles I learned to be flexible as I learn how to be a mother and follow my daughter’s flow. This club has been a real gift to me and I can’t recommend it enough. I only wish Angela Watson made this club for other professions, since I know so many of my friends and family would love to participate!

I was hesitant at first; it seemed very expensive. I did not personally know anyone who has tried it, and I always have skepticism for online reviews thinking they are filtered or fake. I am a real teacher and this review is not fake. I guess if it was negative it potentially could be filtered out, but I can’t imagine anyone who has used the program is unhappy with it! The coaching is so helpful. And the materials are great. I suppose one could create some of the materials oneself, but who has time for that?! It seems counterintuitive for a teacher, especially a veteran one, to need a program that helps a person learn to be more time efficient, but it works! I work at least 10 hours a week less than prior years even though my teaching assignment was changed this year.
