EQUIPPING EDUCATORS - CREATING AGENCY IN STUDENTS
WHAT WE DO:
A Letter from the CEO
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.​
​
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.​
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.​
​
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
So How Does it Work?
Intentional, Comprehensive Coaching & Mentorship
We believe in helping you create a framework and month-by-month focus that empowers educators without overwhelming them. Our goal is not to add one more thing to their overflowing plates, but to show them how SEL becomes the very foundation upon which effective teaching is built. We use the programs and trainings you’ve already purchased and exposed your teachers to, and then we help you fill in the gaps so that you end with a robust roadmap for the entire school year that is effective, easy to follow, and creates that common language and systems you’ve been wanting.
​
Teaching Inside Out offers a comprehensive three-year coaching and mentorship program tailored to meet the unique needs of each district. We understand that every school community is different, which is why our approach is highly personalized and adaptable.
Meet Our Mentors
Throughout the three-year program, our Mentor Teachers serve as trusted allies and partners, helping educators navigate challenges, implement best practices, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Whether it's addressing behavior management strategies, integrating SEL into the curriculum, or promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, our Mentor Teachers are there every step of the way, ensuring that teachers feel supported, empowered, and equipped to succeed.
Are You a Good Fit?
As another school year approaches, the urgency of getting Social Emotional Learning right becomes increasingly clear. Because when we prioritize SEL, we're not just teaching subjects — we're nurturing resilient, compassionate individuals ready to face the challenges of today's world. Our kids are different. Our parents and families are ever-changing. And technology advancements continue to transform every aspect of our classrooms, and our lives.
​
But Teaching Inside Out is not for everyone. Because we work so closely with our educators and district leaders, we need to be sure that the people that we pour into are a good fit for the work that we do. To truly experience the change you wish to see in your classrooms and school sites, you must be more than just an educator – you must be Curious, Open, and Ready to Expand.
​
At Teaching Inside Out, we're not just offering a program; we're inviting you on a journey with our Mentor Teachers who are dedicated to coaching to the core where we focus on both personal development as well as professional growth. We understand that changing your classrooms and schools starts with a shift in mindset. It's about embracing new ideas, stepping beyond your comfort zone, and embracing possibilities, because we can’t get teaching right if we get Social Emotional Learning wrong.

How Teaching Inside Out Benefits You
Teaching Inside Out recognizes the immense challenges teachers face in today's classrooms and is committed to providing personalized mentorship and support that empowers teachers to thrive and create vibrant, inclusive learning environments.
How our Mentoring Can Alleviate These Challenges:
Emotional Exhaustion Relief
Teachers are emotionally exhausted from managing not only their own stress but also the heightened emotions of their students. We provide strategies to build emotional resilience, enabling teachers to navigate challenging situations with calmness and composure.
Confidence Boost in
Behavior Management
Dealing with disruptive behaviors drains teachers' confidence and energy, impacting their ability to create a positive learning environment. We offer practical techniques and support, empowering teachers to confidently address and manage difficult behaviors with ease.
Increased Teaching Time,
Decreased Disruptions
Teachers struggle to maintain classroom focus and instructional momentum amidst frequent disruptions and behavioral challenges. With guidance from our Mentor Teachers, teachers learn effective SEL strategies that proactively address disruptive behaviors, resulting in more teaching time and fewer interruptions, ultimately enhancing learning outcomes for all students.
Time Crunch Solution
Teachers feel overwhelmed by the demands of their packed schedules, leaving little time for meaningful instruction. Through personalized mentoring, we help teachers optimize their time, freeing up valuable minutes for impactful teaching and student engagement.
Simplification of
Classroom Management
Juggling administrative tasks alongside teaching responsibilities leaves teachers feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin. We guide teachers in streamlining classroom management processes, reducing administrative burdens, and allowing them to focus on what truly matters: teaching and student growth.
Our program goes beyond traditional coaching and mentoring by addressing the gaps in your Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), Positive Behavior Interventions of Support (PBIS), Social Emotional Learning, Executive Functioning, Emotional Intelligence for adults, as well as trauma-informed practices, ensuring that every student's... AND adult's needs are met in a supportive and inclusive environment.
With a lens focused on the whole child, we draw upon research by experts like Dr. Ross Greene and
Dr. Marc Brackett to inform our approach and empower educators with the tools they need to foster social-emotional development and academic success.
