Classroom Teaching: Grades 2–5
Taught second, third, fourth, and fifth grades, building experience across multiple stages of elementary development.
Glenn School Resources™ was created to help teachers save planning time without lowering expectations. The materials are shaped by more than two decades of experience across elementary classrooms and student-support roles.
My name is Ryan Glenn. I have worked in education since 2001, teaching second, third, fourth, and fifth grades in face-to-face classrooms and virtual learning environments.
My work has also included serving as a behavior interventionist, teaching elementary Physical Education, supporting first- through fourth-grade classrooms as a substitute teacher, and teaching reading programs such as Summer Academy and Camp iRock.
Beyond classroom instruction, I have completed school-level administrative responsibilities associated with assistant-principal roles. Those experiences have strengthened my understanding of school systems, family communication, student behavior, instructional support, and the practical demands placed on teachers.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Clemson University and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Furman University. I was named Teacher of the Year for the 2024–2025 school year and have contributed to published elementary mathematics and data-science curriculum work.
Each role added a different understanding of how students learn, how classrooms function, and what teachers need from instructional materials.

Resources should explain what to prepare, how to begin, and what students are expected to do.
Students should think, discuss, write, solve, build, revise, and communicate—not simply complete pages.
Materials should respect teacher time, classroom schedules, varying student needs, and the reality of school-day interruptions.
Strong resources provide enough structure to save time while allowing teachers to adapt them for their students.
Ryan’s professional experience spans Grades 1–5 and multiple instructional settings. Glenn School Resources™ uses that broader perspective while keeping its main product focus clear: practical, classroom-ready support for Grades 3–5 educators.
