Have you heard? SMART x moozoom is here to support student wellness.
It’s no secret that students need help with their mental and emotional well-being; We know that helping students develop the tools and language to meet daily challenges is essential to their growth and success both in and out of the classroom. But educators have so much to do, from lesson planning to classroom instruction to all the hours spent ensuring students have a safe and comfortable place to learn, that there’s hardly enough time. So it can be a struggle to spend more of your day planning and creating related SEL lessons and follow-up activities for your students, especially based on topics that can be difficult to tackle.
When it comes down to it, reality tells us that there are three things that really matter when it comes to student wellness resources that teachers can use in their classrooms:
- The content must fully engage the students.
- You should be able to use it in your classroom quickly and easily, without much preparation.
- Pedagogy and content must be robust and based on real research.
That’s why we’re excited to share that we’ve partnered with moozoom-a student wellness curriculum it eliminates all that extra work while providing easy-to-use, interactive SEL resources that you can teach in 10 minutes a day. Based on current student realities and the latest K-12 learning standards, moozoom’s mission is to improve student well-being by teaching them how to deal with real-life challenges.
moozoom uses live-action video-based learning where students “choose their own adventure” after immersing themselves in real-world simulations. The content provides opportunities for student-led discussions and activities that deepen learning through inquiry. moozoom immerses students in a fictional universe using high-quality cinematic videos where students can create their own stories and forge meaningful connections with strategies to overcome their daily challenges.
What happens when students observe, engage, and deeply connect with those SEL-aligned behaviors?
- Students acquire important life skills such as communication, collaboration, and relationship building.
- Students adopt positive behaviors while reducing problem behaviors (in the short term and even into adulthood!)
- Academic performance almost always increases
- Happier and healthier classrooms and schools
