Curriculum that scales. Tools teachers actually use.
I help schools build effective curriculum frameworks and educational products. I also assist teachers in running calmer, more effective lessons through training and practical classroom tools.

ABOUT ME
Curriculum is your product.
I’m Emilia Shend, a Curriculum Developer and Teacher Trainer with 11+ years in education. I build curriculum as a product system, so delivery does not depend on individual teachers and founders do not have to micromanage quality.
I design the learning architecture, progression, and assessment logic, and I also produce the classroom-ready materials teachers actually use: workbooks, slides, teacher guides, templates, and QA workflows.
I work across K–12, higher education, and corporate learning, and I integrate AI tools to speed up design while keeping standards high.

What I Build For Schools
From curriculum strategy to classroom-ready resources: I design the framework and produce the full set of materials teachers need to teach consistently across grades and campuses.
-
Framework & OutcomesClear learning goals and skill definitions that align with your standards and context. -
Lesson Presentations (PPT)Teacher-friendly slide decks that guide the lesson flow and reduce prep time. -
Progression & ScopeA progression map across grades/levels/terms, so learning builds logically and gaps disappear. -
Assessment & RubricsAssessments, success criteria, and rubrics that make progress measurable and grading consistent. -
Classroom MaterialsTextbooks, workbooks, printable packs, and classroom-ready activities structured, consistent and designed according to your brand. -
Teacher Guides & TrainingTeacher guides, onboarding, courses and workshops so the curriculum is implemented the same way across classrooms.
Teacher Training That Changes Classroom Practice
Workshops and short courses that help teacher teams implement curriculum confidently, with routines that work in real classrooms.
Classroom-ready toolkit
Teachers leave with ready-to-use routines, scripts, and structures, not just theory. Designed to be used immediately.
Modern classroom management
Practical tools for transitions, regrouping, co-regulation, and de-escalation, without authoritarian classroom management.
Implementation systems
Shared language, routines and approaches so teaching becomes consistent across classrooms, not dependent on individual style.
Sustainable change
Optional micro-tasks and reflection tools between sessions, plus a clear rollout plan for real implementation.
Teacher First Aid
A deck for the moments that usually steal your lesson.
Regroup & Refocus
When attention is gone and everyone is doing their own thing, these cards help you bring the class back quickly without raising your voice.
Pick the classroom moment.
Run one micro-intervention.
Return to learning.
Emotional First Aid
When a child melts down or completely shuts off, these cards give you a simple step by step way to support them and keep the rest of the class learning.
Body & Brain Breaks
When the energy is too high or too low, these cards give you quick movement and sensory resets so the group can come back to a calm learning state.
Restorative & Repair Language
When conflict happens and you are thinking “what now”, these cards give you calm repair steps and teacher language that helps you return to learning.
Trust & Connection
When the group feels disconnected or cold, use these routines to create connection quickly and set a calmer tone for learning.
Free starter pack includes 5 cards and a mini methodology guide.

How I Work
Intake and scope
We start with a short diagnostic. You share what exists today and what is not working, and we define the goal, constraints, timeline, and decision rules. This is where scope becomes concrete, so you know exactly what will be built and what “done” means.
Curriculum architecture
I design the system first. Outcomes, progression, module structure, and assessment logic are mapped before we produce content, because this is what makes quality repeatable across teachers, cohorts, and campuses.
Model module (proof before scale)
I build one model module or sample unit end to end. This becomes the reference point for style, lesson flow, material format, and quality level, so scaling is fast and consistent instead of chaotic.
Materials production
Then I produce the full set of classroom-ready resources teachers actually use. Depending on the project, this includes workbooks, slide decks, lesson plans, teacher guides, printables, tasks, and assessment packs with rubrics and success criteria.
QA and systemisation
I introduce a quality system so you do not have to micromanage. You get templates, checklists, naming conventions, and versioning rules, plus clear standards for what “good” looks like across the programme.
Handover and implementation
We finish with a clean handover so your team can run the programme. If needed, I support implementation through teacher onboarding, training sessions, classroom observation, and feedback cycles, so the system works in real life and stays consistent.

Clear scopes with transparent starting points. Final quote depends on level count, materials volume, and implementation support.

Teacher First Aid
When the lesson starts falling apart, you don’t need another theory, you need the next step. Teacher First Aid is a print-ready deck of classroom micro-interventions.
Each card tells you when to use it, what to do, and what to say in 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

Questions you might have
A few practical things teams usually want to know before we start.
- School:How do we start working together?Emilia:Usually you send a short message with a few materials or a quick description of the problem. I look through it and suggest the most realistic next step. Sometimes that’s a short audit, sometimes a design sprint, sometimes a longer curriculum build.
- School:Do you work with existing materials?Emilia:Very often, yes. Many teams already have good pieces. They just don’t form a system yet. My job is usually to structure what exists and make it scalable for teachers and new hires.
- School:Do you also design classroom materials?Emilia:Yes. Depending on the project, I can produce teacher guides, slide decks, worksheets, textbooks or assessment tools. I can also design the production system your team uses to create materials consistently. Mostly for such big projects I work with a team of designers.
- School:How long does a project usually take?Emilia:Small audits or design sprints usually take two to four weeks. A full curriculum system can take two to six months depending on scope.
- School:Is Teacher First Aid part of your projects?Emilia:Sometimes. Schools often use the deck as an implementation tool when a new system is introduced. But it also works independently as a practical classroom resource.
- School:Do you work internationally?Emilia:Yes, and that’s one of the parts of my work I enjoy the most. Most projects happen remotely, but whenever possible I travel to the schools or organisations I work with. Seeing real teachers and students in their classrooms helps me design curriculum that actually works in practice.
