Second Story Window brings game-changing resources that aim to help teachers take their teaching to the next level
Second Story Window continues to become an industry game-changer by producing tried-and-true resources to help teachers elevate their teaching and simplify their planning to meet their students’ needs.
Second Story Window provides research-based resources and strategies to help teachers maximize their instruction time and simplify their prep with high-quality resources and education they can rely on.
Second Story Window is a joint effort of Heidi Van Natter and Emily Stephenson, two sisters from Utah with a passion for educating little ones. Heidi has a master’s degree in education with a math endorsement, while Emily has a degree in Early Childhood Education.
Heidi and Emily turned their classroom efforts to creating a blog site to collaborate with each other and to share their favorite ideas with teachers. Afterward, the two opened a game-changing shop that aims to help K-3 teachers elevate their teaching.
On the website, individuals can filter resources depending on grade level – from kindergarten to 4th grade, or resource type – whether back to school, spiral review, fluency passages, or brain breaks, where they can save money while obtaining more resources.
For example, the 3rd Grade Spiral Review expertly reviews the 3rd Grade language arts and mathematics standards. Second Story Window calls it morning work, but this impressive review activity can be worked into any part of the school day.
“It’s one thing we will never teach a day of school without because we’ve seen incredible results with our own students for years,” says Heidi.
Second Story Window stressed that Daily Spiral Review is one of the most effective ways to help students move their learning from short-term to long-term memory. Each time students retrieve information from their memories, it becomes easier to recall that information in the future.
Second Story also features the podcast Teacher Approved, which helps teachers elevate what matters and simplify the rest. For example, Procedures for Success, one of its latest episodes, discusses ways to help teachers identify what procedures they need and then develop a plan to implement them.
In a review, Shannon, a 2nd-grade teacher, expressed appreciation for the thoughtfulness of the entire program offered by Second Story Window.
“You’ve really hit the nail on the head as they say, with differentiation, developmentally appropriate lessons, gradual release of responsibility, working on stamina and accountability,” writes Shannon, who described Emily and Heidi as “rockstars” in the field.
On the other hand, Stephanie, a 3rd-grade teacher, said she uses Second Story Window reading passages as a phenomenal resource for fluency practice.
“It provides me with wonderful opportunities to differentiate according to each of my student’s needs. The comprehension component is an added bonus. I am beyond impressed by the great thought, time, and energy that went into creating something as incredible as this,” adds Stephanie.
