Welcome to Next Day Teaching, where classroom calm begins.

Children in the classroom sit obediently in their desks, facing forward, smiling and ready to learn.

I’m Tori, and I love helping teachers solve classroom management problems.

Tori grins broadly at the camera, eager to help overwhelmed teachers create systems and routines to calm classroom disruptions.

I’ve been where you are.

I’ve stood in front of my class, students talking over me, ignoring my directions, pushing back on everything.

I learned firsthand how exhausting and discouraging it can be when every strategy you try seems to fall flat.

Over my 16 years teaching K-8, I built routines and systems that turned my classroom into a calm, respectful place where students followed directions, stayed on task, and thrived.

My colleagues noticed. Administrators noticed. And my students, who often told me I was their most trusted and respected teacher, noticed too.

Now I help overwhelmed teachers like you learn the strategies I wish someone had handed me years ago: clear, actionable steps you can use tomorrow.

What I Believe

Good teaching starts with calm routines, respectful relationships, and practical systems. (Not perfection, not gimmicks, and definitely not shame.)

What I Do

I show teachers why students act out…and then give simple, actionable steps to calm disruptions fast. Theory + practice, all in one.

7th grade ELA is the best, closely followed by 4th grade anything. (But yes, I really do love them all.)
