About Shell Education
Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.

I went in with very low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised! There were a ton of useful examples sprinkled throughout the book. It also got me to think about ways I can improve my teaching. 🍎📓

A MUST READ for everyone. ;) Just kidding. I will say,though, that for social studies teachers, it is a really good book. It has been a LONG time since I took my social studies methods class in college (and that one wasn't all that valuable). This book gave me ideas on how to provide more variety in my class. I needed that!
