Welcome to Practicing What We Teach, we are teacher besties who teach primary/elementary and special education. Our names are Jill and Kendra and we live on the east coast of the beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Some of you may have heard of our province through Come From Away or most recently Jimmy Kimmel Live. We have been teaching for approximately 10 years ranging in grades K-9 for Kendra and special education grades 1-9 for myself (Jill).

We recently started our business venture on Teachers Pay Teachers, known as JK Teaching Resources. We develop curriculum for grades K-6 in all subject areas including special education. We try to make our products modifiable for all learning abilities and styles, focusing on a tiered teaching style for diverse learners. We are passionate about creating resources that meet the abilities of all students in an inclusive setting while making them as fun and engaging as possible!
When we are not busy teaching and creating new products for TPT, Kendra can be found working on her Masters in Education with a focus on Literacy, hanging out with her dog Jeter, or watching sports with her husband Greg!

I have been enjoying my down time after just completing my Masters in Special Education and have found my love of reading for pleasure again and enjoy summer morning runs. I have been dabbling into writing for publication in scholarly journals with the research from my thesis and have my first article published on Inclusive Education Canada.
