Dear Edutopia community,

We know that back-to-school season is right around the corner for many of you. To help you start strong, we’ve compiled a set of timely, research-informed resources designed to support both new and veteran educators alike.

Whether you’re setting up your classroom, preparing for that first week, or simply easing back into the rhythm, these bookmark-worthy collections are here to help—whenever you’re ready to dive in.

Classroom Design Essentials
Budget-friendly, research-backed ways to set up your classroom.

A Comprehensive Guide to the Evidence-Based Classroom
Groundbreaking insights on classroom management, grading, and student motivation.

The New Teacher Starter Pack
Insights from fellow teachers on mindset, how to approach the first days, classroom management for beginners, and more.

By the way, we’ll be adding more content to each of these collections throughout the school year, so check back often, and feel free to share them with your colleagues.

All of us at Edutopia wish you a smooth and inspiring start to the school year (or more rest if you’re still enjoying your summer)!

Warmly,
Steve
