Emotional Intelligence for a New Generation of Learners
Powered by AI, guided by the human spirit.
OpenHI is responding to the emotional dysregulation, burn-out, and divided attention today’s tech has fueled.
Instead of turning away, we’re turning the tide—using emotionally intelligent tools to restore focus, empathy, and resilience.
OpenHI begins where transformation is most needed now: in schools.
“Why are all the teachers quitting?! Behavior. It’s behavior. No one who’s actually in a school with half a brain in their head needs to ask that question.”
Mr. Daniel Buck, Educator
80% of schools report rising behavioral issues post-pandemic, disengagement, and lack of focus.
Teachers don’t want more curriculum. They want more support.
Emotional Intelligence lets teachers reclaim their valuable position, as students build self-esteem & resilience.
K-12 Teaching is the #1 most burnt-out profession in the U.S.
“It’s not the curriculum. It’s not the pay. It’s not the PDs.
It’s the daily unrelenting storms of behaviors that teachers are expected to manage without the tools, without the support, and often, without a break.
We’re not talking about kids having a bad day, we’re talking about constant dysregulation, escalations that derail learning, and students who need so much more than a seating chart or a sticker chart can offer. And yet the system keeps telling teachers to “just manage it better.”
But teachers aren’t magicians. They’re people. People who chose this profession to teach, not to become full-time de-escalators, crisis negotiators, and documentation machines. You can only take so much before burnout becomes survival and survival becomes, I’m done.
If we don’t start addressing this with real support, real intervention systems, and real empathy—we’re going to lose great teachers. Not because they don’t care. But because they cared too much for too long without being cared for in return!”
Dr. Jennifer L. Forsythe, Educator

"We want to teach, but when we have to spend almost all of our time managing behavior, and don’t feel supported, we can’t teach. We don’t feel safe and neither do the other students. Learning is impossible in the current environment.”
Ms. Brooke Weiss, Educator

“Our students are struggling with self-esteem and peer relations. They feel pressured to not look “stupid” and it in turn causes behavior problems in the classroom. They don’t take academic risks in fear of being wrong and when they feel frustrated with their classwork, they often give up, especially if they don’t feel supported by teachers and judged by other students.”
Ms. Matos, ESE Coordinator
