A recent Forbes article said, “If the big challenge of 2021 was to get children back into the classroom, the challenge for 2022 is to keep teachers there.” With statistics showing a 66% rise in school-based departures and schools across the country scrambling to fill teacher and substitute shortages each week — all while working to bounce back from the pandemic — the need to support our teaching staff has never been greater.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar.

I bought a Peloton bike in 2020. In my 20s and early 30s, I actually taught spinning classes – so I knew this purchase was going to work well for me. Don’t worry, this is not a #AD.

What I didn’t expect were instructors and classes like Ally Love.
