If you’ve ever spent your Sunday night rewriting plans, searching for a spark, or silently bargaining for one more day off — I see you. I’ve been you.
After 30 years of teaching — in classrooms, libraries, and as a student support specialist — I’ve seen the impact and the magic that happens when teachers are supported.
Trina Deboree Teaching & Learning began as my way to give teachers back their time and help them (and their students) fall in love with learning again.
For most of my career, I was surrounded by support, encouragement, and the kind of leadership that made me love coming to school every day. Then one year, that changed — and I felt what so many teachers feel when their passion meets a system that doesn’t see them. It was heartbreaking… and it was also the moment I knew I wanted to be part of the solution.
That’s when Trina Deboree Teaching & Learning was born — to remind teachers that their work still matters, their voices deserve to be heard, and joy still belongs in the classroom.
I help tired teachers rediscover their spark with ready-to-use, standards-aligned resources, honest encouragement, and real-talk inspiration that make teaching simpler, more joyful, and deeply meaningful again — because joy still belongs in the classroom.
Whether it’s creating sub plans that actually save your sanity, STEM and Makerspace challenges that spark curiosity, or podcast episodes that speak the truth about teaching today, my goal is simple: to help you feel seen, supported, and reconnected to the part of teaching that made you fall in love with it in the first place.
What I Do…
What I Believe…
I believe teachers deserve:
-Autonomy and trust.
-Time to rest WITHOUT the guilt or overwhelm.
-Laughter, creativity, and real support- not just more paperwork.
-Classrooms filled with curiosity, not chaos.
-And the daily reminder that you are ENOUGH, just as you are!
A Little More About Me…
I’ve been a teacher, a student support specialist, a media specialist, a mom, and a lifelong believer in the power of good stories.
I’m also a podcaster, resource creator, and relentless advocate for teachers who are doing extraordinary things in impossible circumstances.
When I’m not creating or recording, you can find me walking my dog Kobe, sipping on water from my emotional support water bottle, or brainstorming ways to make learning fun again — for kids and teachers.
Let’s Bring Joy Back to Teaching…
Whether you need a day to breathe, a laugh that hits close to home, or a resource that makes life easier — you’re home here.
