Practical, Inclusive Teaching Resources That Actually Work in Your Classroom
Welcome to My Mum, the Teacher - a place built by a teacher for teachers! As a teacher, education specialist, and resource creator, our goal is to help educators build trauma-informed, UDL-aligned classrooms where every student can thrive, with ready-to-use resources and real-world strategies you can trust.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm Christie!
I’m a teacher, mum, and education specialist who’s been in classrooms since 2008 — from mainstream to support units, across public, Catholic and independent schools.
After years of seeing how hard teachers work to support every student, I created My Mum the Teacher to share the practical, inclusive strategies and ready-to-use resources I wish I’d had starting out.
Everything I make is grounded in Universal Design for Learning, trauma-informed practice, and real classroom experience — so you can feel confident, supported, and ready to meet the needs of every learner.
Empowering Teachers. Supporting Every Student.
Practical, evidence-based tools and strategies to create inclusive, trauma-informed classrooms where both teachers and students thrive.
Ready-to-use teaching resources designed by an experienced classroom teacher
Strategies grounded in Universal Design for Learning and trauma-informed practice
Practical support for behaviour management, differentiation, and inclusive planning
Designed to save time, reduce overwhelm, and boost confidence in every educator
My Mum the Teacher exists to support educators with integrity, compassion, and real-world experience. We believe every classroom can be a space where students feel seen, valued, and capable of success, no matter their needs or learning style. Our resources and guidance are built on research, classroom-tested strategies, and a deep understanding of the challenges teachers face today. At our core, we value inclusivity, respect, and practicality — empowering teachers to make a meaningful difference while feeling confident, supported, and inspired in their practice.
