What Educators Are Saying
Testimonials from educators and superintendents
"Bounceback was a huge success for our district. The digital platform with incredible evidenced-based content was easily accessible and the voices of real educators were relatable to all. Education is stressful and Bounceback explored both stress management, adult SEL, and gave practice ways to increase thoughtful decision-making for educators which in turn led to better teacher-student relationships. The 10-hour professional development credit for teachers was an amazing bonus."
Steve Webb
Superintendent; Goresville, Illinois & AASA executive committee member"Bounceback is one direct way to provide strategies and tools for educators to use in their daily practices. Teachers often carry their own stress and trauma, in addition to supporting their students with their own social and emotional needs. This is an important part of how we address educator and student well-being"
Jillian Ahrens
1st-grade teacher and 3rd vice president, Cleveland Teachers Union“Bounceback has been a game-changer not only professionally but also personally. It took me less than thirty seconds to create an account and I was able to start watching right away. As educators, we don’t have much time during our day so having short video segments that are easily accessible made it much more manageable. Seeing real educators show evidence-based strategies to help manage stress while also receiving professional development credits was a win-win.”
