Success Stories
“I loved how it was broken down into modules and we were taught in a way we would teach our students. Meaning there were videos, visuals, and excellent feedback in the comment sections. I was very grateful to have found the class before my first year of teaching to help not feel so overwhelmed.”
Tiana
(TK-4th, Self-Contained with Integration (SCI) Teacher)
“There was not a program set up in my class, so I had to start from scratch. I was overwhelmed and I didn't know what I would do. I struggled through my first year and that summer I really wanted to figure out some way to do things that worked. There aren't that many resources for self-contained classrooms, especially severe-profound teachers. I learned how to structure my schedule better, individual and classroom schedules… When I started in the fall I had a solid set of interventions and plans.”
Stephanie
(Multiple Disabilities Elementary Teacher)
“This was a life saver for me! I was a first year teacher in a self-contained structured autism classroom, and I needed all the help I could get with classroom setup, organization, behavior, and scheduling. This course helped with all of that! The prompts Alyssa gave and all the resources she shared were so helpful, and the course was organized in a way that wasn’t stressful. Alyssa helped walk me through my first year. I 100% recommend completing this course if you are in your first few years of teaching!”
Whitney
(Primary Special Education Teacher)
“There were a lot of things I did not know how to prepare for. My friend and I joined the group together and did the weekly assignments together. This really helped us lean on each other for support, but also allowed us to both get organized for the upcoming school year in a way that did not make us feel overwhelmed… Without this, I do not think I would be the teacher that I am today. I am forever thankful for Alyssa!”
Lauren
(K-5, Self-Contained Classroom Teacher)
"When the school year began, I felt extremely prepared. I feel confident in my classroom and the routines, structure, and environment that I have in place."

What's Inside
Simple Self-Contained Setup 101®
Module 1:
The Schedule
Success starts with structure! We’ll start by diving into the importance of schedules and how to choose the right one for your classroom. We’ll break down the various types of schedules, the formats of schedules, and how to choose a schedule to best meet the needs of each unique student. I’ll even walk you through the 4 MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS of your daily classroom schedule and how to build it from scratch!
Module 2:
The Team
Remember, we are better together! In this module, we’ll build a positive team mindset along with the framework that will have you fully supporting your team as a classroom leader. You’ll learn the ins and outs of communicating with families, paraprofessionals, and service providers to create a mutual goal of supporting each student in the best way possible.
Module 3:
The Classroom
This is a BIG one for new teachers. In this module, you’ll gain every tool needed to create the classroom setup of your dreams! We’ll work to develop your classroom setup philosophy and plan out your classroom from an organized, student centered perspective. You will walk away from Module 3 ready to make your classroom a functional, inviting space for both you and your students!
Module 4:
The Curriculum
Here’s where we’ll identify your curriculum foundation. While this course focuses on planning rather than implementing, we’ll still take the time to explore a baseline idea of WHAT you will teach and WHAT you will use to teach it before the school year begins. In Module 4, you’ll gain access to your curriculum planning guide, where you’ll be able to identify your current gaps and needs. We’ll also touch on differentiation and pivoting as needed, as one single curriculum alone is never the solution in self-contained.
Module 5:
The Changes
In Module 5, you’ll learn everything you need to review your newly-created systems and setup, identify any gaps, and make necessary changes to fine-tune your classroom, your way! We’re going to analyze the data to implement positive change in the most systematic way. You’ll be able to take these skills and utilize them (if needed) after you put your plan to real practice when the school year kicks off!
Gain Access to One Module Per Week
Learning new systems and putting them into practice takes time!
By tackling 5 modules over 6 weeks, you'll be able to focus on each section whole-heartedly.
This process is strategic and specifically built to increase your productivity and reduce overwhelm.
You’ll also get these 5 incredible bonuses!
(Over $200 in value)
Private Facebook Group
Course members will be invited to join a private, 6-week group! This is where you will get all of the support, be able to ask questions, and have access to live Q+A’s! You’ll even have the opportunity to take guidance from Alyssa and her team as you move through the modules, along with your fellow special education teachers.
Q&A Sessions
Every other week, Alyssa will go live in the Facebook group to answer questions submitted by YOU and walk you through any bumps you may hit throughout the course.
Classroom Prep Video Library
Need a quick tutorial for prepping materials for your classroom setup? The classroom prep library will give you tutorials for all of the key parts to the self-contained setup. Want to laminate file folders? Bind adapted books? Build a task box system? The classroom prep library will show you how to best prep your special education resources to save you time and money.
Resource Downloads
Templates, forms, checklists, flowcharts, class signs, and much more to get your setup streamlined - fast and free of stress.
Alumni Community
After 6 weeks inside the private Facebook group, you will be invited to the “Simple Self-Contained” Facebook community for alumni only. Here you will continue the conversation, receive real-time support from my team, and collaborate with other teachers who have gone down the same path you have so you can continue to learn and grow throughout the school year and beyond. Support like this is hard to find!
When you add that all up, that’s a total value of $450.

Hi, I'm Alyssa
I was in your shoes. I know what it feels like to enter a school year in a frazzled way. I know what it feels like to have a hectic, overwhelming start to the year with 20+ lists covering my desk and no idea where to start.
Creating this step-by-step plan transformed not only my own classroom, but my career. Following this exact plan led me into the school year with a ready for anything mindset. Because of this, I was able to focus on my students, and have a huge significant influence on their learning. Setting up your self-contained classroom may just be the first step into your duties as a self-contained teacher, but it’s the one that leaves the biggest impact on your year as a whole.
Will you be prepared for anything that comes your way?
Whether you are a brand new teacher, or a veteran one who still doesn’t have a solid plan for back-to-school in place, I personally invite you to join me inside Simple Self-Contained Setup 101 to gain the clarity you need to make this year different.
