Description of the Program
Secrets of the Heart™ TV is an award-winning web-based learning platform that delivers arts-based, social-emotional learning with an emphasis on culture and diversity. Designed for children ages 4-8.
A hybrid program that can be used for remote or in-classroom learning and in synchronous or asynchronous formats.
Secrets of the Heart™ TV begins with parent and teacher orientations and an opening film, followed by 5-24 pre-recorded workshop webisodes (depending on program length you choose), and ends with a culmination. Each webisode is approximately 15 minutes long with 20 – 25 additional minutes required to complete reading, discussion and worksheet. Every workshop includes an art form, vocabulary words, ASL signs for the “secrets” and visiting a new location somewhere in the world!
Worksheets are provided in English and Spanish to be printed each week, completed and reviewed. Completed worksheets can be photographed with a mobile device and returned to teachers when teaching is remote.
