How Evidence-Based Video Modeling Lessons Engage Elementary Students
Students learn best when they can see skills in action. Our evidence-based video lessons feature diverse, age-relatable actors modeling real-life situations your students recognize—from recess conflicts to classroom cooperation.
Each video includes thought bubbles and voiceovers that help students understand the why behind actions, supporting development of Theory of Mind and social understanding.
Student actors model real-life situations that feel relatable and authentic
Thought bubbles make inner thoughts visible to help build Theory of Mind
Every scenario shows the “why” behind behavior to strengthen social cognition
Easy-to-follow Units Make Teaching Truly No-Prep
Each unit introduces a skill with a video lesson, then reinforces learning with interactive games and worksheets. Units build on one another to support skill development over time, from lower elementary through upper elementary and beyond. Students grow in confidence through repeated exposure, peer modeling, and practice on skills like calming down, asking others to play, and advocating for themselves.
