Driving MTSS Success with WhyTry by Focusing on Student Motivation and Resilience

Using WhyTry with MTSS

WhyTry provides evidence-based social-emotional education tools to engage struggling learners and build resilience as a behavioral intervention within your Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework.
Our program and toolkit, combined with our WhyTry Approach, can help you engage and motivate your difficult-to-reach students and build the skills of resilience.

Practical Tools for Student Engagement

WhyTry equips educators with multimedia toolkits featuring:

  • Attention-getters, stories, and video media
  • Engaging visual analogies
  • Object lessons, group, and group movement activities
  • Music resources to help in the classroom

These resources boost student engagement and help them to see the relevance of putting effort into their school work.  WhyTry also helps to establish positive behaviors and support your MTSS framework.

Training for Authentic Connections

We go beyond curriculum and lesson plans to provide training on:
Building relationships with disconnected students
Delivering Tier 2/3 interventions in an engaging way
Teaching students to have a resilient mindset
This motivates students who are resistant to instruction and reduces problem behaviors.

“WhyTry gives them the vocabulary that my class last year lacked because the program is so strong with giving them the tools and the words to describe how they’re feeling.”

“I have to say, the hands-on activities were perfect in portraying the message, and we had so many great discussions as a result. In fact, we saw a measurable change with our group. Our students made much better decisions going forward.”

“Very, very well done and organized, this program is incredibly complete and well thought out, masterfully scope and sequenced, it’s all here, totally visual and participatory.”

The WhyTry curriculum uses visual metaphors to teach important life skills, like:
Responsible decision-making
Tearing off negative labels
Emotional regulation
Problem solving

We empower students to overcome challenges and help them to see the relevance of school work.
