Students are struggling!

The number of children ages 3 to 17 struggling with anxiety or depression rose by 1.5 million between 2016 and 2020. Educators trained in mental health and SEL will be prepared to reverse this alarming trend.

TeacherCoach can help!

From a solid foundation in mental health and SEL, faculty will learn how to apply this learning to their work in students. Your dedicated portal will have virtual engagements in these three areas.
  • SELF
    To effectively intervene with students, we explore our motivation, bias and intention. Faculty members who understand the basis for dis-ease and the core elements of growing resilience to help their students, will be rewarded.
  • STUDENT
    Developing skills for effective student intervention is grounded in psychosocial emotional learning (PSEL). Fifteen skills are designed to help student learn how to constructively meet their needs.
  • School
    Each class nurturing the well-being of students will collectively establish the norms for the school. Faculty who can embody resilience will more easily cultivate healthy classroom climates.

Success Stories

Jen Horner

I can't thank Jared Scherz and his team at Teacher Coach enough for the afternoon of Wellness and Laughter they provided for our staff. We had a last minute calendar change and not only was Jared able to meet our expectations, they by far exceeded them. All the cards were stacked against this program being successful. It was a day in May, the week of NJSLA testing, students had an early dismissal but not the teachers. However, right from the start the presenters got the staff involved and the teachers were eager participants. We had a comedian and a game show plus two massage therapists. The afternoon couldn't have gone any better. We received nothing but positive comments (which is unheard of). I can't thank Jared and his team enough for an exceptional experience. We can't wait to partner with you again!
