It’s time to teach SEAL!

Students arrive to school with many social and emotional needs. Problem is, teachers lack the training it takes to help them. This leads to stressed out teachers who are on the brink of burn out.

The thing is, students deserve to get an education that is free of disruptions. And teachers should feel empowered to provide the safe, learning environment they long to teach in!

SEAL is the only method that empowers caring teachers to

calm classroom behavior issues and ease teacher burnout

by embedding creative social-emotional strategies into their current content without requiring them to implement an entire program that takes up precious class time.
