Our old membership was a subscription product that was billed on a month-to-month basis, and the PDF guide was delivered via email. This new membership is a one-time fee which gives you access to our Materials Matter course plus extra membership bonuses. You will create a password that gives you access to all the materials in one place. You can download and print as needed, and your password will give you lifetime access to your portal.

Our new membership includes a free curriculum guide each month, but it also is the only way to join our Materials Matter course with is NEW and exclusive to members only. When this membership ends in August 2024, you will have each module of our 12-month course as a lifetime resource and an incredibly low price. Once we are finished with this course, we will bundle it and sell it at a much higher price point. So even if you already have many of our curriculum guides, you will still benefit greatly from the new Materials Matter course as we dive into materials in a way that we don’t cover in our curriculum guides.

As a member, you will create a password to your membership portal where all content will live. You can download and print anything at any time. You will have lifetime access to all content.

You have the option to pay all at once or break up the payment into 4 monthly installments. However, the 4 installments are not the same as a monthly payment because if you cancel at any time during those 4 months, you will lose access to all the materials.
