I wanted to bring you a full service social and emotional learning system that is easy to use and affordable. The Mind Trek Program is simple to use and requires less than five minutes to prepare. Teachers simply need to turn the program on their screens and follow the on-screen directions with their classes. This frees up counselors and teachers to prepare for other lessons and attend to student needs.
