About Rhapsody Jordan-Parisi
Rhapsody Jordan-Parisi has been figuring out how to balance the “teacher life” for almost 20 years. As a wife, mother of 4, full-time high school English teacher, and part-time writer, she knows firsthand how difficult (and important) it is to balance work and life without burning out in either space.
She began teaching in 2005, earning her MA in 2009 and National Board Certification in 2011. In 2023, she launched her website and blog, TightropeTeaching.com, where she helps overwhelmed teachers reclaim their time and peace of mind through support, encouragement, intentional strategies, and resources. Rhapsody has a genuine passion for helping others, and Tightrope Teaching enables her to extend that reach outside the walls of her own workplace. What a blessing it’s been to connect with teachers from all over the world!
Rhapsody is a volunteer representative and member of Christian Educators, and regularly contributes writing for their Daily Devotionals. Her work has also been featured in CE’s Teachers of Vision magazine, the Kingdom Educators podcast with Jesica Glover, and Teach4theHeart’s Rise Up Online Summit 2024. She is thrilled to be back at Rise Up 2025 to help, encourage, and connect with this incredible community again!
