Teacher Believed in Me Leader Guide Cover

The Challenge Isn’t Just Academic. It’s Human.

Every educator remembers the teacher who believed in them.
Now it’s your turn to be that teacher—with the tools, language, and system to make it happen every day, for every student.
“This was definitely a bucket filler. We spend so much time pouring into our students’ buckets, we forget about our own. This gave me the reset I needed—to take care of me so I can better care for them.”
— Middle School Teacher

The Data Is Clear: Students Are Struggling

Recent reports from the CDC and Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child show troubling trends:

  • 1 in 3 students reports persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness

  • Chronic absenteeism has doubled since 2019

  • Academic engagement and motivation are at historic lows

  • And while anxiety and depression rise, students’ sense of connection to school is falling fast

These patterns aren’t just statistics—they’re urgent signals that students are overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure who believes in them.
