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 so 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 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 use of music, hands-on activities, stories, and multimedia. WhyTry curriculum engages all major learning styles (visual, auditory, and body-kinesthetic).
