A Little More About Me

I'm Katisha Burt, a former classroom educator turned educational content developer, curriculum designer, writer, and independent publisher. After more than 13 years working with children, educators, and school communities, I still approach every project with the same question I relied on in the classroom: What does this person actually need, and how can I make it easier to understand and use?

That thinking has led me to develop K–12 assessment tools, instructional resources, professional learning playbooks, classroom systems, student enrichment materials, and original educational frameworks designed for real-world implementation.

But education is only one side of my creative life.

I'm also the founder of Steep Society, a tea lifestyle and digital-content brand where my love of tea, writing, publishing, research, visual storytelling, and resource development come together. Building Steep Society has given me another space to practice what I do best: take a subject I care about, understand its audience, organize information thoughtfully, and turn ideas into useful and engaging content.

Whether I'm designing an assessment for a young learner, developing a professional resource for an educator, or creating a tea guide for someone building a new ritual, the philosophy is surprisingly similar:

Understand the person. Identify the need. Create something with purpose.
