🎠 The Playground Collective isn’t your average community — it’s where creative chaos meets collaboration! Most of our resources (for teachers, parents, and lifelong learners) are freely earned just by leveling up — from lesson ideas and travel guides to printables and projects that make learning fun again. And because we like to keep things unexpected… we’re even building an online cookbook together inside the community! 🍪 If you love learning, laughing, and collecting cool ideas along the way, come play with us at The Playground Collective.

In the next 8 days leading up to our meet and greet, The Personals, I'd like to invite you to participate in a themed challenge. Each day, I will write a #Prompt in order to encourage and promote authentic and real connections, collaborations, and growth. You will be able to create a new post responding to the prompt in addition to your usual daily post. In other words - two posts a day for the next 8 days!!! If you've been hanging back wondering what you should post, or waiting until your group is more established, or trying to think of the perfect way to represent your group, consider this your official invitation to get involved. At the end of the 8 days, we will get together as new friends, colleagues, and collaborators to meet face to face and strengthen our new connections. Who's up for the challenge???

If you're a woman and want to create your own Skool group, I made something just for you! I’m Karen, the creator of SkoolHers, a top ranking group for women who’ve already launched their Skool communities. I love SkoolHers, but I kept hearing from amazing women who wanted to join but weren’t quite there yet. They were still figuring out their niche, stuck in decision-making mode, or just overwhelmed by all the moving parts. I kept thinking…they need their own space. So I created Pre-SkoolHers — a free community for women who are still in the idea or planning stage. Inside, you’ll find: ✔️ Support and encouragement from other women getting started ✔️ A place to ask questions, test ideas, and get unstuck ✔️ Clarity on how Skool works and what you actually need to launch ✔️ A clear next step once you do launch — you’ll be invited straight into SkoolHers If you’ve been playing with the idea but haven’t hit launch yet, I’d love to have you in there. Here’s the link:👉 https://www.skool.com/pre-skoolhers-5314 Come join us! I’d love to support you and hype you up every step of the way. 💕

In my community, The Playground Collective, I’ve begun giving out some of my teaching resources, starting with holiday seasonal packs. So, if you’re a teacher, homeschooler, parent, caregiver, aide, special education teacher, or just someone who loves helping kids have fun learning, come join The Playground Collective! I also love to include travel stuff in the group! We as adults need to have fun, too! Hope to see you there!! The Playground Collective

Since there are so many new faces around here, I thought I’d do a couple of quick introductions… I’m an award-winning educator with a Masters in education and more than 20 years of experience in curriculum and course design. I created the Classifieds because I was tired of being in groups where I met people I could help, but I couldn’t say anything because the group had “no self promotion” rules. I wanted to provide a place for people to be able to talk passionately about how they help others with their skills and expertise. I’m on a mission to show that genuine connections and collaborations can form when we freely share what we do and how we help. We also have an amazing moderator who helps administrate the group. I’ll let @Mona Weathers introduce herself below!
