Educators
We know you’re busy and we also know you’d do anything to help improve the mental health of the children in your care. That’s why we want to bring Braidy® into your school or educational setting. So you can develop BOTH the academic skills and the social-emotional skills needed to improve mental health.
Educators around the world are using Braidy® from early childhood through to high school to help children write their stories, organise their thoughts, express their feelings, make plans, and decide action steps.
Braidy® can easily be implemented into the existing oral language and writing curriculum and woven into any storybook. It’s currently being used in every school district within the Hawaii State Department of Education and for a federal Early Literacy program in Honolulu District.
