It’s your lucky day!
First, thank you for attending our presentation last week at the annual For Counselors Only Conference – Oklahoma Career Tech conference. As a thank you, we promised to send you some free resources (see the bottom of this page) and have a special opportunity for you! We want to get more schools in OK access to WhyTry, and we know that when a counselor uses our program, the school has a good probability of adopting it down the road. So… here is the deal! Normally a single-user license for WhyTry is $599. This includes our introductory training and the full toolkit access. We have a special training scheduled for school counselors next month. If you register for that by the end of this month, we will let you purchase the program (including the training) for $175. using the discount code we sent you in your email. If you want to see more details about the full program materials and toolkit watch this detailed video (approx 9 min)
The WhyTry Program
WhyTry is a flexible toolkit and curriculum for K-12 teachers and counselors. It provides simple,
hands-on strategies and resources to help motivate the unmotivated student, support students with
trauma, improve engagement, and increase academic success. The idea is straightforward: teach
life skills and resilience to youth in a way they can understand and remember.
the 10 WhyTry Learning Units
The WhyTry curriculum utilizes a series of
ten visual analogies that teach essential
life skills like:
- Decision-making
- Positive self-esteem
- Emotional regulation
- Having a resilient mindset
- Peer influence & relationships
- Problem-solving
- Hard work & Determination
- Responsibility and expectations
- Relationship building
- Self-efficacy
The Power of Visual Metaphors
One of the most unique things about WhyTry is how we use visual metaphors to teach these important principles to students in a way they can understand and remember. The powerful thing about using this visual approach is the way it takes abstract concepts and puts them into a context through the use of a metaphor that students can understand. It essentially creates a language for educators to communicate the relevance of these things.
Student engagement instruction using multiple learning styles
The visual analogies are reinforced through the creative use of music, hands-on activities, sto-
ries, and multimedia. WhyTry curriculum engages all major learning styles (visual, auditory, and
body-kinesthetic).
The WhyTry Toolkit and Curriculum
The WhyTry Program can be used as a flexible toolkit for teachers and counselors or as a classroom curriculum taught for a semester or school year. To schedule a demo of our complete toolkit and implementation model, go to:
The WhyTry Approach – Over 20 years of helping build relationships
The heart of our approach is a concept we call Surrendering the One-Up Relationship. This is a set of easy-to-implement strategies and activities that help educators build authentic, caring relationships with students.
