Our programs focus on the whole well-being of educators and their impact on students. Even the healthiest of school faculties struggle to keep stress at a manageable level.
The demand placed on educators today is unprecedented. Teachers are uncertain and fearful and stretched more than they ever imagined. YET they show up. Each and every day. Ready to face whatever the day beholds. Educators are on the front lines of uncharted territory. We are ALL asking and even EXPECTING the extraordinary of them. We should also be asking is Who is taking care of educators? Who is focusing on mental-health as priority ONE for educators?
Working directly with educators and administrators before and throughout the global pandemic, Chance to Soar has a unique perspective on the collective challenge our educational community faces today. As the societal dialogue surrounding mental health evolves, educators must be at the forefront.

Our Story
Dr. Andra Barton and Mrs. Aletha Scheck came together in a professional setting many years ago. The like-minded duo connected at a critical time for the future of the school in which they both worked. In a capacity to affect organizational change, they began to witness first-hand how investing in educators created a positive shift in mindset around school climate and culture. Creating a student focused environment and being intentional about equipping the teachers that are part of that environment, had a tremendous positive impact on the school as a whole. And so it began…
