Dr. John Theis is the founder of Whole Student Learning and creator of the SeeMe ForMe app. He created this company to fill crucial gaps in the social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health space. Dr. Theis started his career working with students experiencing developmental and behavioral challenges. He maintained dual roles as a social worker and classroom teacher. He established a tech-focused approach during his doctoral work while receiving his Education Administration and Leadership doctorate from the University of Minnesota. He was a professor in the Education Department at St. Cloud State University. More recently, he was the Chief Academic Officer for a non-profit educational service organization, leading the development of standards-based curriculum and assessments for the PreK through Grade 12 population. He maintained his whole student approach by infusing social-emotional and mental health content into all subject areas. Dr. Theis is ecstatic to see the education sector begin to fund initiatives that focus attention on the whole student; encapsulating the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
