40 is the number of contractual hours many educators are required to work. The number 40 is designed to take you aback and get you thinking:
Wait, 40? How could that be possible when teaching consumes every waking minute of my time?
The goal of Fast Track is to help you find a more sustainable way to do this teaching thing well & make a big impact for kids.
We conquer overwhelm right away so that you’ll have the energy and mental bandwidth to follow through on systems to get organized, streamline routines, give kids ownership of the classroom, and be truly intentional about how you use your instructional, contractual, and personal time.
THAT’S the real benefit of the program, and it’s the process which makes it possible to work fewer hours.
Fast Track is a 6 week condensed version of our 12 month Full Year program--it doesn't get any easier or faster than this!
Plan to spend about one hour on each of the six modules in Fast Track, so six hours in total.
You can do this all in one weekend, or spread it out, tackling one module each week or even each month.
Use as many or as few strategies from each module as you’d like—just a few small tweaks to your mindset and daily routines in that one area will start moving the needle, so you’ll feel relief from overwhelm immediately.
There’s no pressure to “do it all.” Use only the ideas and printables that seem most relevant to your teaching context.
You can always come back to anything you skipped later, as you’ll keep your access to all these materials for the rest of your teaching career (at no extra cost!)
The strategies you learn are the same in both programs--there is nothing in Fast Track that you won’t also find in the Full Course.
Only the format and the depth of the materials are different. Fast Track is a condensed version of the Full Course, and instead of covering every topic, it includes just the most essential ones for mid-school-year. And, instead of including all the strategies for the most essential topics, it includes just the ones past participants have found MOST impactful.
Fast Track does not include anything for back-to-school, end-of-year close out, or any other seasonal materials. It’s just the resources you need to trim 3, 5, or 10+ hours off your workweek right away in the middle of the school year.
Fast Track is perfect for teachers who:

Hannah used our program to meet her professional development goals, as determined with her administration team:
Though we don't have accreditation through any state departments of education, many of members have been able to use the editable professional learning log provided and the PD certificate we provide.
You may be able to use 40 Hour as support in meeting your personal PD goals, and we'll help you provide documentation for your principal to show that you have made progress toward those goals.
I'm Angela, and I founded the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek program back in 2015.
I've spent 11 years as a classroom teacher and over a decade more as an instructional coach and educational consultant. I designed this program based on what worked for me as a teacher, and spent years refining the strategies based on what I've observed through supporting club members.
More than 48,000 teachers have used the 40 Hour resources to take control of their time...and now, we're supporting instructional coaches and administrators to create change on a school-wide level.
Together, we are proving that you CAN be a great educator without sacrificing everything for the job. There IS a more sustainable approach to this work, so you can keep doing what you love, without burning out.
When you join the 40 Hour Fast Track program, I personally guarantee that you will feel less overwhelmed and more organized, AND you’ll begin trimming hours off your workweek right away.
If not, send us an email within 21 days of joining, and we'll refund your entire payment.
