You’re in the right place if you:
  • are spending more time prepping for virtual classes than actually teaching them

  • feel like you’re teaching into the void because everyone has their cameras off

  • are no longer having fun teaching birth classes

  • miss the comfortable days of just showing up and teaching

  • feel alone in your tech struggle

  • seem to be lecturing over a slide deck for two straight hours

  • rely on the same three or four virtual activities over & over, with no end in sight

  • struggle to engage families in the virtual classroom

  • feel like a stumbling new educator again, even though you are not

  • are tech-savvy, but don’t want to spend all of your time recreating your curriculum for virtual classes

  • are tech-wary and rely on low-tech teaching techniques, afraid to step it up

I barely know how to turn on my computer!

Many of our activities require a meeting platform and nothing more! Families simply have their camera on and no additional tech is needed on their part or yours! We promise!

I don’t have time to learn something new!

With our easy to follow activity sheets, everything you need to run every activity is clearly explained and accessible and our tip sheets help make things run smooth each and every time.

I already have a curriculum that I have purchased or created.

This is not a curriculum! The VAC is a set of templates, tools, images, instructions and tips to turn your curriculum into an irresistible, engaging class that families are excited to attend. Teach your topics, with your timing, your information, our activities!

I don’t have the time to set up my entire class from scratch.

The VAC has taken care of all of that for you. Choose which activities you want to pop into your curriculum and where you want them to go, and then just plug and play! With the collection, you will be saving time!

We’re going back to in-person soon, so I’m DONE with online classes!

Much of the Virtual Activity Collection can be easily transferred back into the in-person classroom. The demand for virtual learning isn’t going anywhere. Families love the flexibility of attending from their own homes, and many families can only access childbirth education in an online format. We believe many educators will find themselves offering both virtual and in-person classes - or hybrid options!

I have taught the same way for 20 years and don’t want to change how I do things!

You will find the same topics you love to teach in person provided in a virtual format that makes sense, is easy to follow and transitions beautifully to the virtual classroom. Even better, once you explore the easy to use activities, you will see how quickly you can adapt your long time favorites to a virtual delivery with minimal effort and maximum results.

I have never taught before and don’t know where to start!

Our virtual activities collection covers everything from Healthy Pregnancy to Postpartum and Early Parenting and everything in between. You can browse the topics and choose the activities that feel right to you and that you are most confident in delivering.

I can’t manage a bunch of links, windows, tabs and screens!

With the VAC, you’ll have a go-to resource for accessing the material when you need it, with instructions simplified to make it easy to present without getting bogged down.

I don’t like a lot of games and goofy stuff during class.

Most of our activities focus on encouraging families to engage with the material, ask questions, understand the evidence and make it memorable! There are a few games tucked in there for educators who like to play, but the beauty of the VAC is that YOU get to choose what works for YOUR classes.

 

Online classes are here to stay…we’ve got you covered whether you’re in the room or on Zoom!

Hi! We are Sharon & Mallory… 
for who we are

…and with over 23 years combined of teaching experience, we teamed up in the summer of 2020 to form Creative & Confident.

We are passionate about engaging and interactive learning experiences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this passion led to a powerful pivot to virtual classes.

Creative & Confident is a way of sharing our ideas, skills and general awesomeness with other educators who were also feeling the pain of online teaching.

With workshops, customized tools, and an ample supply of ideas, we have helped hundreds of educators to level up their classes.

The Creative & Confident community is full of educators who are in love with teaching online…

...and we want you to love virtual classes too!

Have questions?

How do I access the VAC after I purchase?

Immediately after you purchase the VAC, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the material. From there, you’ll be able to download and save all your material.

What if families don’t turn on their cameras?

We have found that when the class activities draw them in and encourage participation, as the Creative & Confident Virtual Activity Collection do, families are more inclined to have their cameras on.

Do you offer refunds?

We do not offer refunds on the VAC. Once you purchase the material, it is yours.

Can I share my VAC with friends or colleagues? I work with a team of educators and we all want to use it!

No, each VAC purchase is for the sole use of the purchaser. If you work with or manage a team of educators, please email CreativeAndConfident@gmail.com to find out how we can help you with tools and support specially designed for your needs! When you purchase the VAC, you agree to the usage terms.

Is there additional support?

For questions, you can email CreativeandConfident@gmail.com. We often respond to emails within 2 business days.

C&C also offers a multitude of other ways to support your virtual classes:

  • 1-on-1 consultation

  • Interactive live workshops

  • Premium educator tools

  • C&C VIP Virtual Package

Find all of our offerings on the web at Creative & Confident.

How do I know it will work? Is this evidence based?

Have we done a systematic meta-analysis on our activities? No, but we do have the feedback from over 100 educators who have been using Creative & Confident products since August of 2020, with amazing results. We hear over and over how satisfied families are and how easy our educators find it to implement our activities. The foundation of every activity is based on current best practice and evidence. And now, we have collated all our activities together, made them even easier to use, prettier to look at and a million times more useful! Our step by step activity instructions are crystal clear. Be assured, as Mallory and Sharon are extremely busy educators, they have field tested each activity in their own virtual classrooms, and tweaked them into the final, professional, easy to use products you see here.

Is the VAC just the same stuff you did in your workshop?

Absolutely not! There are a handful of activities that we introduced in our live workshops, but the vast majority are completely new. And the few recycled ones are improved, more detailed and completely customizable.

I don’t use Zoom! Will these activities work on my platform?

Yes! These activities are designed to work with any platform that utilizes breakout rooms, polls, annotation capabilities, screen sharing, chat, virtual backgrounds, etc., which are all common tools to most meeting software in use today. The nuances on how to use these valuable resources on your specific meeting platform may require a quick google search but nothing shared in the Virtual Activity Collection is unique or proprietary to the Zoom platform. If you are familiar with your meeting platform, you are very likely going to find this amazingly simple.

Can’t I just make all this stuff myself?

Sure you can, but who has the time? It has taken us hundreds (and we literally mean hundreds!) of hours to design, create, test, revise and revise again to end up with this final product. Immediate access to the Virtual Activity Collection is a screaming deal compared to the time you would need to produce even a portion of these activities. Buy it now, use it all tonight!

You’re awesome! Can we be friends?

Sure we can! You can follow Mallory & Sharon, and keep an eye on Creative & Confident on Facebook and Insta.
