I wholeheartedly recommend the first week of school bootcamp to all K-2 teachers. It’s a fantastic way to set a positive tone for the year, build a strong classroom community, and establish effective routines and procedures. If you’re looking for a way to start the school year on the right foot, this bootcamp is definitely worth attending.
Misty Jolly-Lewis
Bootcamp has been so amazing. I have been a teacher since 1995 and am still learning new ways to do things! Just when I thought I would enjoy relaxing for the summer, I attended Kara Rickman 's Bootcamp and now my brain is on fire with all of the thoughts about how to do things differently next school year. Bootcamp is absolutely worth it! I would have paid $40 for just the 1st day!
Adrianne Philpot
This bootcamp is going to be a lifesaver for me this year! I have worked in Pre-K for ten years- nine as a para and one as a lead- and this will be my first year in first grade. I have been so overwhelmed thinking about where to even start on the first week. Kara’s bootcamp walks you through every single step of the way! I already feel so much more confident than I did before starting this camp and we’re not even finished yet! Thank you SO MUCH Kara Rickman!!!
Jillaine Dechance
If you haven’t done this bootcamp woth Kara Rickman, do it! She’s got some great ideas, lots of freebie files, and even this 35-year veteran got new info and got recharged to start the year fresh.
Debbie Dubinsky
I absolutely love your Writer's Workshop Reboot, and I have been a teacher for over 30 years! I wish all new teachers would watch your videos. I am in Canada and will be sending your name all over my district! Again, thank you!.
Shantwan Mines
Kara, you are most definitely a master teacher. I’ve enjoyed them all! These modules are an absolute treasure.
Hey Teachers! I'm Kara!!!
I'm a 26-year veteran teacher who has taught 1st grade, 3rd grade, and Title 1 Reading. My passion is not only teaching students but teaching and helping teachers as well. My hope is that you can take your classroom to the next level and turn it into something that you are proud of! Remember that we all have to start somewhere and that this is going to take dedication and hard work. But, if you have a growth mindset and want to take this journey with me I'd love to help you out! I'm a full-time teacher who is dedicated to helping teachers develop their craft in teaching cross-curricular using quality literature and engaging writing. Please reach out to me if you have any questions at:

Happy Teaching!
