Hi, I'm Kendra Bess 👋🏻

Digital Learning Coach. Instructional Designer. Secondary education advocate. And the person who refuses to let middle and high school teachers feel like an afterthought.

After eight years in the high school ELA classroom and a Master of Education degree, I now serve as a Digital Learning Coach for a school district; working every day to help educators teach smarter, design better, and actually enjoy the job again.

But the work didn't stop there.

I created Kendra Bess Creative as a home for the resources, tools, and ideas that secondary teachers actually need; not the watered-down, elementary-first content that dominates education spaces. Everything I make is rooted in solid pedagogy, real classroom experience, and a deep belief that learning should feel as good as it looks.

Whether you're here for classroom-ready TPT resources, Canva hacks that actually save you time, or a community of secondary teachers who refuse to be boring, you're in the right place.

Let's design smarter and teach bolder. Together.
