There is a crisis of teacher vacancies affecting learning and the overall school environment. Students are increasingly disconnected and facing alarming levels of depression and anxiety. Post-pandemic, students’ needs have escalated, leading to widespread attendance issues.
Connecting what your students are learning in school, to the relevancy of their own lives, while preparing them for what they will face in the real world.
What Does It Mean To Speak Life?
We believe that words have power and that we all have the choice to use our words to encourage and inspire not only ourselves, but others. Our curriculum and training helps educators and students to recognize their abilities, and provides them with the tools and skills to utilize them. We support your students confidence and self-esteem so that they can feel empowered to accomplish their goals and to lead successful lives. We also connect what they’re learning in school to what they will face in real life, giving your students the tools to navigate the challenges and opportunities that they will have in the future.
Why We're Essential
The younger generation has endured various traumatic events and urgently needs resilience skills to overcome these challenges. Our curriculum aims to provide a counter narrative to uplift and motivate students, despite the negative influences of social media.
Why We're Essentially The Answer
Our solution includes an asynchronous platform that allows seamless implementation for educators without adding to their workload. We provide professional development and support as needed. Speak Life promotes the adoption of positive behaviors among educators and students.
Our curriculum is designed to take your students beyond the classroom and into an experience that will supplement their academic education. Explore our modules below:
The Envision Your Future module is the foundation for all of our other sessions. It helps students to understand why it's important to have a positive mindset in spite of life's challenges and to use their words to inspire themselves and others. Students will learn how to set SMART goals and gain tangible tools to turn their vision into reality.

The Etiquette module coincides with our belief that first impressions are important. It also reflects that your students may need assistance with preparing for a job interview (whether in an office or over lunch), navigating the pitfalls of social media, or understanding that there is a time and place for proper communication with others.

Many students tend to do a lot of studying about how to make their futures great, but they often forget to look within. The Psychology of Love module instills a sense of self-worth, self-respect, and self-love in every student. By breaking down societal norms and the pressures of family, peers, and stereotypes, students will learn tangible skills that will help them to see themselves for who they are and love themselves because of it, not in spite of it.

We're all human, and realistically, we have all made poor decisions in our lifetime. Teaching students how to weigh their options, make good decisions, and be accountable is integral to their success in your classroom and in life. Our Decision Making module helps students to see how every decision matters, that doing the right thing (even when no one is looking) is a cornerstone of their character, and that they have to use wisdom when being a leader and choosing who to follow.

Our character is the basis for who we are at our core and how we will treat others. When our character is put to the test, we are tasked to demonstrate what we value and what we stand for. The Character Education module helps students to understand the importance of having a strong moral conscious in their relationships with themselves and the world in which they live.

At Speak Life, we don't necessarily believe that college is for everyone. However, we do believe that everyone needs an education. The College Preparatory module allows students to investigate their options after high school, whether it is going to trade school, the military, a two- or four-year institution, or joining the workforce. The module addresses some of the barriers that prevent students from having viable options once they graduate, as well as how to make good academic and behavioral decisions now in order to prepare for their futures.

Managing your time, your money, and your class work are all important skills that each middle and high school student should have before they graduate. Life skills are the crux of what we need to know for our survival in the real world.
