Do Both Teachers Feel Equal and Valued?
Are you an administrator and have wondered:

- How do I help these two to work together as full partners?
Are you a teacher and have wondered:
- How do I make this partnership work?
- What do I do with a second teacher in my room?
- How do I enter another teacher’s classroom?
- What's the point? I don't feel valued.
- What’s next for our partnership?
We created the Elements Mini Course to Help Admins and Teachers just like you...

School Year Community-Builders
These school-year-long practices provide students, and all included school community members, with ongoing opportunities for connection and meaningful interaction to deepen relationships. When students feel a sense of safety and belonging, they’re more open to learning, taking risks, and thinking critically.
Student Articulation Profile- Long Form
Are you an administrator and have wondered:
- How do I make transition and articulation meetings meaningful and helpful?
- How do I prevent student regression because the next teacher or team doesn't know where to start?
Are you a teacher and have wondered:
- How do I effectively communicate everything I've learned about a student?
- How can I hit the ground running with this complex student?
After working with thousands of educators who've had these questions, we developed Student Articulation Profiles (SAPS) that can be used year after year. The long form SAP assists teachers to communicate the following in-depth:
- Who the student is as a human.
- Their strengths and support needs in regards to organization, independence, self-regulation, and social preferences.
- Concrete strategies for supporting classwork and academic progress.
The Long Form SAP contains checklists with corresponding notes sections for details.
