❤️What people are saying about these resources ❤️

"A wonderful, supportive resource for what can be a tricky thing to navigate (job sharing). Definitely recommend if you are sharing a class with a colleague!" Samantha

"This was a must read in my first shared year of teaching. It made things so clear and explicit. Hands down a must have for any tandem teacher combo" Jessica

"This helped me and my job share partner keep on track - it's an amazing resource thank you." Lisa

"This was such a comprehensive resource that helped me with my initial meeting with my job share partner. Everything we needed to consider and make decisions about was provided in this handbook with helpful suggestions when we had varying ideas on how to approach things! I have had it bound so that we can refer to it throughout the year. I feel much better about moving schools and working with a new job share partner now that it is all planned out. Thank you!" Erin
