A letter from the CEO:
Welcome to
Teaching Inside Out
Here at Teaching Inside Out, we look from the outside in, so you can teach from the inside out. Our mission is to equip educators, as well as administrative teams at the district level, with the tools and support they need to excel in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), foster a culture of well-being and emotional intelligence, and create common systems and a common language across their school sites.
In today's educational landscape, the importance of mental health and emotional intelligence cannot be overstated. Our program not only addresses the mental health of both students and educators, but it also focuses on building the emotional intelligence necessary for success in and out of the classroom.
This is not a one-and-done coaching session or program. We provide genuine, ongoing support to our educators so that they know that someone is always in their corner and they don’t have to do this work alone. Backed by years of comprehensive coaching and mentorship, our program is designed for longevity and sustainability. We understand that lasting change requires consistent support and guidance. That's why we provide monthly, and weekly, support from our dedicated Teacher Mentors, as well as just-in-time assistance, ensuring educators have the resources they need to feel seen, valued, and empowered to do this work for years to come.
At Teaching Inside Out, we pride ourselves on showing districts how SEL can be seamlessly integrated into the academic school day and across all content areas. Unlike boxed curriculums of the past, our approach is not scripted. There are no lesson plans, activities, or extra fluff and stuff. Our teachers don’t need one more thing on their plates, and that is why our mentorship feels different. Instead, we focus on filling in the gaps and providing personalized coaching and a roadmap tailored to each district's unique needs. Our Mentor Teachers are partnered with your educators so that they can give them exactly what they need now so they can teach into the social and emotional skills of our students. Teachers don’t need more Google Docs, links to slide decks or lesson plans. Here at Teaching Inside Out, our number one focus is to make our teachers feel seen, valued, SELebrated, and in a community that will lift them up and run alongside them.
As teachers for teachers, our Mentors work closely with educators and district teams to provide ongoing support, guidance, and professional development. We believe in the power of peer-to-peer learning and mentorship, drawing upon the expertise and experience of seasoned educators to empower others in their professional growth journey. Our goal is to set you up after your fellowship so that you have the systems and cohorts in place to stand the test of time.
If your district is grappling with the emotional exhaustion of teachers, the time crunch of packed schedules, the confidence drain from behavior management challenges, the overwhelming complexity of classroom management, and the struggle to maintain teaching time amidst disruptions, then Teaching Inside Out is exactly what you need.
Teaching Inside Out facilitates the creation of a common language and common systems across all school sites, promoting consistency and collaboration district-wide. We help create a cohesive approach that maximizes impact and promotes equity across the entire district by aligning practices and fostering a shared understanding of SEL and trauma-informed principles.
By investing in Teaching Inside Out, your district can transform the classroom experience, fostering a culture of emotional resilience, time optimization, confidence in behavior management, streamlined classroom processes, increased teaching time, and a unified approach to SEL and trauma-informed practices. Let us help your district overcome its challenges and unlock the full potential of every teacher and student.
All the best,
Kim Gameroz
What People Are
Saying About Kim
And Teaching Inside Out
"Before I started this work I was strongly considering leaving teaching. I had extreme anxiety about coming to work every day and was very overwhelmed by the workload, behaviors, etc. Now I not only want to be a teacher and come to work every day, but I hope to further my career in education to support other teachers who feel the way I used to feel!"
"Before I started this work, I felt very anxious going to work, and at a loss. What I was doing simply wasn't working. Now, I feel lighter, calm, and at ease walking into my room because I know that I have a tool for just about every situation at this point to use when I need it. I no longer feel helpless! So grateful for this community."
"Before, I was putting out fires constantly. I wasn't using consistent language to communicate with students and families and staff. Now, I'm calm. My students are calm, my staff is calm. I can see a difference in students around campus. I feel a difference in the staff room. Common language around campus has changed the feeling of our school community. I love it!"
"Before working with Kim and learning how to infuse SEL into everything we do, we were missing consistent language and phrasing. Staff that speak the same schoolwide language really sets the stage for students to know what is expected. When they know what's expected, they feel calm - when kids are calm, adults are calm and school feels good again."
