Elementary Teachers
Are you ready for students who:
act with empathy, manage their emotions, have meaningful relationships, reach their goals, and make responsible decisions... all within your smooth-running classroom?
Let me guess.
-
You don't have enough time in your day for social-emotional learning.
-
You've left school completely exhausted and stressed.
-
Even though it feels like you've tried everything, disruptive behaviors keep popping up in class.
-
You want to make a lasting difference in each student's life, but feel like something's just missing...
What if there was a way to cultivate real relationships in a
smooth-running classroom that feels more like a family than work
AND easily teach students the social-emotional skills they need
to be successful? (all the while saving you time and energy...)
Well, there is!
I'm excited to introduce to you,
the research-based, classroom-tested, and teacher-adored process for
teaching SEL the simple way and making a lasting difference.
What Teachers Are Saying...
I know how easy it is to talk yourself out of "extras" for the classroom.
Who has the time, right? We're used to following an academic curriculum that only focuses on academics.
But, let me ask you a question; why did you become a teacher?
If you answered to change the lives of my students, the choice is simple.
Let's change the world, together.
MEET SHANNON
Hey there! My name is Shannon and I help busy teachers get started with SEL in just minutes a day. I've helped over 30,000 teachers bring community, kindness, and SEL skills [like: emotion management, coping skills, problem solving, effective conflict resolution, and empathy] into their classrooms, and can't wait to help you get started too. After teaching upper elementary for 8 years and now as a social-emotional learning coach, I know what challenges the modern teacher faces.
Teachers are world-changers and it’s time to rewrite the narrative. SEL is a proven way to support the whole child while improving academics. Ditch the exhaustion from disruptive behaviors and lack of student support AND effortlessly provide students the lessons and skills they need to think, act, and BE who they were made to be.
I believe educators shouldn't have to choose between teaching what their students need most and the curriculum, and now they don't have to. The Made to Be Me Membership has everything teachers need to get started with SEL in just minutes a day. Every child deserves the skills to succeed and every teacher deserves time and energy for themselves outside of school. I'm here to help you achieve that. Xo, Shannon
