Created by a teacher, for teachers with lesson plans, videos and activities prepared with your needs in mind. Weekly updates and regular webinars ensure that you’re always current!
Kid-friendly language and concepts that can be immediately put into practice are keys to a positive, lasting impact. As one teacher put it, “So simple and so effective!”
Using a fun, ‘real life’ approach, URSTRONG provides practical relationship strategies to improve the social climate in your classrooms and in your own relationships as well.
We’re all about empowering kids with the skills to manage their friendships while providing teachers and parents with a common language to support them. A whole school strategy is key!
