Introducing Heroes Made: The Ultimate Social Emotional Learning Solution

Let’s dare to imagine how our society can transform if every child is equipped with the tools to build positive relationships and make responsible decisions. This shift could mean less time spent managing the daily ups and downs, emotional challenges, and the faulty coping mechanisms that children often develop without the right guidance. This gained time can then be dedicated to growth, creativity, and meaningful progress.

The team at Heroes Made isn’t just dreaming of this change—they’re delivering it to schools right now through their SEL Platform.

Social emotional learning (SEL) is an essential component for preparing students for the future. That’s why we’re pleased to introduce Heroes Made. Aligned with CASEL standards, Heroes Made provides prepared lessons to K1-K6 teachers, measures impact via Hero Journals for daily emotional tracking and Periodic Assessments to identify and enhance areas of student growth.

Benefits of Social Emotional Learning

SEL offers students benefits beyond simply better understanding and managing emotion. The skills introduced through SEL programs also help students improve their ability to build relationships and interact with peers and teachers more effectively. It improves academic performance. SEL teaches students how to cope with unexpected events and emotions in ways that build habits that can carry them through their lives. Research has shown that students who have access to SEL are more likely to graduate, more likely to find success in their career path, and more likely to go to college. Moreover, studies have shown that SEL also leads to improved mental health, stronger interpersonal skills, and a lifelong ability to navigate challenges with resilience and empathy.

How Heroes Made Makes SEL Easy for Teachers

Heroes Made goes beyond informative learning. It empowers students to apply emotional intelligence in real-life situations, nurturing balanced individuals and building empathetic communities. Their platform allows three teaching methods:

  • Pre and Post-Session Questions: Engaging students and ensuring a deeper understanding of the material.
  • Activities: Fostering emotional intelligence and collaborative learning.
  • Metacognition Engagement: Encouraging self-reflection and vital emotional skills development.

Teachers love Heroes Made because it doubles as an SEL and literacy solution with pre-made curricula that means no prep is required to incorporate SEL into everyday learning. With more than 210 lessons, a mood tracker, and customizable avatars students get to be the heroes of their own SEL journeys.

Designed By Educators for Educators

Heroes Made is more than just another edtech company. The program was designed by educators, psychologists, and visionaries who envision a classroom where SEL is integrated into all learning, where emotional intelligence is second nature, and where teachers can rediscover their love for teaching. Heroes Made is committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to safely explore their emotional world with insight and resilience.
