Working Together

The POWER of One

The Power of Many

Sometimes, as a teacher, you must settle for good enough with plans and move forward.

Dare to impact the fabric of society - that's what great teachers do.

Introducing SWAY Learning

a SMART WAY to Learn, Earn, & Play

Teachers, the support you need isn’t top-down—it starts right here.
If you’re looking for practical, self-directed professional development that works where the rubber meets the road, welcome.

I’m a retired classroom teacher who knows firsthand how demanding teaching can be. Over the years, I developed a toolkit of strategies, resources, and games that not only helped me survive—but thrive—in the classroom. Sharing those tools has been a passion project, and while the journey has had its challenges, it’s also been deeply rewarding.

The result? A new, teacher-friendly platform: thewaygame.ca
Coming soon, this site organizes everything into clear, easy-to-use bundles—bite-sized lessons designed for busy educators. You’ll find proven tools that build student engagement, confidence, and connection. And yes, there’s a way to turn $37 into $800—a small investment with a big return for your classroom.

You don’t have to wait for permission to teach in a way that works.
You just need the right game plan.

CAP Notebook Classroom Fundraiser

Empowering Classrooms. Supporting Teachers. Engaging Students.

Let’s face it: many classrooms are underfunded, and teachers are underpaid. The CAP Notebook Fundraiser is a simple, smart solution designed to help every class raise money for the essentials—and a little extra—for the people who make learning possible.

Here’s what your classroom can raise money for:

Essential school supplies
Student prizes for The WAY Game
Startup costs for exciting classroom projects
A well-deserved bonus for the teacher

How It Works

Each student needs a CAP Notebook for each of the three school terms. The notebooks cost $11.11 each. With a 100% markup, your class keeps the profit:

30 students x $11.11 = $333.33 per term
$333.33 x 3 terms = $999.99 raised per class

Divide this amount between supplies, prizes, and projects based on what your classroom needs most. Teachers can order what they need online, saving time and reducing the financial burden on parents.

But this fundraiser is more than just selling notebooks—it’s about creating meaningful learning experiences.

Each CAP Notebook Subscription Includes:

Full access to training and digital resources at playway.ca
An annual Pathfinder Student Learning Profile
Weekly Game Cards to fuel class competitions
Daily CAP Notebook lesson report templates
Entrepreneurial activities for both teachers and students
Free updates throughout the school year
Access to online team play for The WAY Game

Teacher Incentive: A Real Raise

The best part? Teachers can choose to allocate a portion of the project revenue as a bonus—a form of transparent merit pay that rewards innovation and effort with real, practical outcomes. This isn’t just about money—it’s about valuing the professionals who make learning happen.

Let’s teach students how to learn, create, collaborate—and contribute.

Let’s support teachers in doing what they do best.

CAP Notebooks aren’t just tools—they’re a path to progress.
