The Growth by Visuals Playbook Collection
A visual SEL system you can run in 15 minutes and build on all year
Built on a design system that compresses complex SEL concepts into clear, instant-recall visuals.
What You’ll Get
Here’s the problem you face
You believe SEL matters.
You see the need for resilience, self-regulation, identity work, and mindset in your classroom.
But you’re already stretched thin.
What you don’t have is time to prep another SEL program.
And what you don’t want is another scripted therapy circle.
The Problem is not the Philosophy. It is the Packaging.
Most SEL materials are:
- Text heavy
- Over explained
- Worksheet driven
- Designed like early 2000s clipart
- Buried inside TPT mega bundles
- Making you feel like a therapist instead of a teacher
- Cheap in price but expensive in prep time
It should not take an hour to run a 15 minute conversation.
And when you’re already operating near empty, every prep-heavy resource pulls from the same reserve.
Which means you take it home.
Which means Sunday becomes catch-up.
Which means Monday starts slightly depleted.
Which means small behaviors feel bigger than they are.
Which means you spend more energy regulating the room.
Which means by Friday, you are more tired than you planned to be.
Not because you don’t care, but because everything costs.
And when the format adds friction, it doesn’t just cost time.
It chips away at the teacher you want to be and the person you want to be at home.
Luckily for you, there’s now a solution.
The Growth by Visuals Playbook Collection.
- 15-minute SEL. No prep.
- Less explaining. More “I get it.”
- Ready-made follow-ups if you want to go deeper.
- Conversations that feel energizing instead of draining.
- Teaching that feels good again.
It doesn’t add to your load. It gives energy back.
Why The Growth by Visuals Playbook Collection Works
The Growth by Visuals Playbook Collection is built on a unique design system created by Hidde Douna (PhD).
It’s a visual compression method that turns complex SEL concepts into clear mental models students can recall instantly.
- Perfectionism becomes two circles.
- Growth mindset an acorn imagining an oak.
- Consistency a jar full of pebbles.
What students can see, they can name. What they can name, they can use.
That is the Growth by Visuals method.
You are no longer reteaching a lesson. You are pointing to a model.
Over time, the visuals become anchors. Not slides you once projected, but language your classroom returns to automatically. The PowerPoint delivers the moment. The Playbook strengthens the structure. But the unique hand-drawn visuals are the engine.
What This Looks Like in a Real Classroom
🚧 The Problem: Perfectionism Paralysis
You see the pattern. Your grade-8 students delay starting because they aren’t “ready.” Perfectionism isn’t a high standard here; it is a wall.
⚡ No-Prep PowerPoint: The 15 Minute Solution
- Just as the bell rings, you open the No-Prep PowerPoint of “Just Make it Exist First” (see sample here).
- You project the slide for grade 8.
- You let the visual do the work and watch the insights sink in.
- Then you read the prompt: “Have you ever not started something because you were afraid it would not be good enough? What happened?”.
- You facilitate an authentic, unscripted conversation for 15 min.
- Outcome: students realize that there is no perfect without the existence of the imperfect first.
🧭 Visual Playbook: Long Term Structure
You open the Visual Playbook (see sample here) that turns this moment into a repeatable Tier 1/2 intervention.
The Playbook suggests redefining “existence” as the smallest possible action, e.g.:
- Open the document.
- Write one sentence.
- Sketch one line.
You use these ideas with your SPED students with task initiation IEP goals. And when a student freezes later, you use the shared language:“What does the imperfect circle version of this look like?”
🌱 The Shift: You stop improvising and start applying a mapped strategy that prioritizes existence over quality.
Why Teachers Already Trust These Visuals
Over the last 1.5 years, these hand-drawn visuals have grown Growth by Visuals from 0 to more than 250,000 followers on Instagram. And one group stood out clearly: teachers.
They loved the visuals. They bought them. And they kept asking for the same thing: classroom-ready versions.
So I built them. And both students and teachers embraced them.
But don’t just take my word for it. Here are real messages from teachers like you:

“Can’t I just screenshot the visuals from Instagram?”
I know it’s tempting to screenshot and use them, but social posts aren’t licensed for classroom instruction……

But if there is some budget, this collection is the professional version: licensed for classroom use, no-prep PowerPoints, and structured educational guides, plus the full bonus.

“This is expensive for a teacher.”
Most teachers don’t pay for their SEL resources with dollars. They pay with time……

Free and cheap resources often cost hours. Weekends, evenings. This hand-drawn collection buys them back. If this saves you two prep sessions, it paid for itself. And it will likely save more than that.

And Wait… I’m Also Including These
Every visual includes a high-resolution printable PNG for walls, binders, or student folders.

Built for Teachers Who Get It
This is not for someone hunting for cheap TPT resources. This is for educators who:
- Already believe SEL matters
- Want students to take it seriously
- Want something modern, not childish
- Want structured conversations without scripts
- Don’t want another fill-in-the-blank SEL worksheet
You are not replacing curriculum. You are strengthening it.
You are modernizing the moments that shape your classroom.
Imagine This Three Months From Now
It is Monday morning. You feel rested because you didn’t spend Sunday preparing SEL.
The bell rings. Students trickle in.
You open a No-Prep PowerPoint and project the visual. Students settle faster because they recognize the format.
You ask one question. The room thinks. A discussion follows that you all enjoy. You can feel it starting to click.
Later that week, a student hesitates to start a project. You say, “What would the imperfect circle version of this look like?” Student: “You’re right,I’ll start simple.”
No explanation needed. The language exists. The culture exists.
You didn’t build it through a 60-minute lesson. You didn’t feel like a therapist instead of a teacher.
You built it through repeated, focused moments with visuals that stick.
That is the difference.
