ABOUT OUR GUEST | JOE MARINO
In 2020, I experienced the highest highs and lowest lows of my career. I achieved my dream job—becoming a high school head coach after years as an assistant—but shortly after, a serious health scare forced me to make a difficult choice: continue in a career I loved or prioritize my life and well-being. Today, I’ve dedicated my work to helping educators reclaim their time and balance by providing ready-to-use, customizable lesson plans and classroom resources. My goal is to support teachers with tools for in-person, remote, and blended learning, credit recovery, special populations, test prep, and more—so they can focus on teaching, engaging students, and taking care of themselves. Teachers deserve a work-life balance, and I’m here to help make that possible.
