About Us
The educational sector is facing an unprecedented crisis.
Since the onset of the pandemic, half a million teachers have left their profession. What's more, a staggering 93% report experiencing severe burnout. This stress affects not only the educators but also the students who rely on them for academic and emotional guidance. Enrollment in teaching programs has declined by 33% in the last decade, further exacerbating the problem.
SageSpace is your ally in combating these challenges.
We offer a readily accessible, easy-to-navigate pool of high-quality resources designed to help educators manage disruptive student behavior and other mental health challenges. Our mission is to rekindle the passion that brought you into this profession and provide the tools to fight burnout effectively.
