How it works
Clever Characters empowers adults who impact children - parents, school staff, and community-based mentors. We help these adults to support social-emotional and mental health, of students, through training experiences and short educational videos. Our short videos are impactful and efficient, to deliver the content that will most support you and your youth while being considerate of your busy schedule. Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) video resources are separated by SEL topics and grade levels. We also support on the ground SEL work, that promotes pro-social behaviors, for a thriving school culture. Clever Characters provides the best SEL training experience for the adults who care for our children.
Institutions
We will train your parents, school staff, and mentors to offer effective SEL to reduce adult stress and increase student success. Our SEL themes allow the adults to have unified language and strategies to best support students.
Teachers
Given your endless tasks and busy schedules, SEL is hard to incorporate in your school. Our easy to use videos and training experiences allows us to become an integral part of your SEL team, to enhance your school’s SEL consistency and effectiveness.
