Special Opportunity for SSWAG Members

It’s your lucky day!

First, thank you for attending our presentation at the SSWAG Spring Conference. Thank you for sharing your info with us! We want to send you some free resources (see the bottom of this page). We also have a special opportunity for you! We want to get more schools in Maryland 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 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:
