Hi! We’re here to help upper elementary teachers teach writing with confidence—without the overwhelm.
At The Teacher Next Door, writing isn’t an afterthought. It’s the heart of everything we do. We specialize in research-backed, classroom-tested instruction that’s actually doable—no scripts, no fluff, just clear tools that help students grow as writers.
Founded by veteran teacher Jenn Larson, The Teacher Next Door has supported tens of thousands of teachers with writing units that break complex skills into manageable, meaningful steps.
From sentence structure to full-length essays, we make it easy to teach writing explicitly and consistently—without relying on a big-box curriculum that rarely delivers results.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make writing instruction stick—or how to fit it all in—we’ve got you.
