A clear path to confidence, connection, and courage.
Better Together³ Isn’t Just a Name. It’s a Way Forward.
In a time of uncertainty, our work brings clarity. In a time of disconnection, we focus on what unites us.
Better Together³ is how we help students and schools thrive—through connection, purpose, and practical tools that work.
Our Approach
At Better Together³, we help schools build a culture where students and staff thrive—academically, emotionally, and socially. Our responsive framework focuses on real-world skills that build self-confidence, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful growth.
We’ve developed six Anchor Elements that create a clear, practical roadmap for student development—one that’s adaptable to any classroom, grade level, or school initiative.
The 6 Anchor Elements
Our framework focuses on six essential skill sets that help students and educators learn with purpose, listen with empathy, and lead with integrity.

Middle School Teacher
The monthly leadership sessions have been instrumental in successfully implementing bt3 this year. Each session allows us to reflect on our implementation and seek feedback and suggestions from the bt3 team. Their support and encouragement have helped us stay the course and effectively make adjustments when we needed to.
