Your partner in social emotional learning through short film
How it works
We do all the hard work for you! Everything below is included in our classes so all your instructors need to do is find the right class!
Script
Just plug and play! We have a script for each class ready to go so all you have to do is review and read it during your class.
Contextual notes keep students safe and offer solutions, Facilitation notes keep the class moving and engaged, and Clinical notes give insight into more technical aspects of mental illnesses.
Slides
Each class comes with beautifully designed slides that feature original illustrations and visually support the Instructor’s script.
They include discussion prompts, film details, and seamless transitions to support confident, engaging facilitation.
Resources
Student-facing resources are available as downloadable PDFs on the Class’s page.
Carefully curated from credible, well-researched sources, they include fillable fields to help students track insights and takeaways.
Films
At the heart of each class are short films from our Voices With Impact film library.
Each film tells powerful mental health stories that shed light on diverse lived experiences. The films are moving, memorable, and selected to spark meaningful conversations among your students that allow Participants to achieve all the learning objectives for each Class.
Wellness Snacks
These 20-minute activities each use a Voices With Impact film to explore mental health topics that come up in the film.
Instructors can offer Wellness Snacks as a follow-up reflection or assign them as homework before Class
Evaluation
Students access class evaluations through a simple link, offering feedback on learning objectives, facilitation, film content, and more. Results are instantly available on the teacher’s Class page in the Partner Portal.
What makes AOM Classes unique
Straight to your classroom
Art Opening Minds' Classes provide Instructors with the opportunity to select and then lead built-out lessons that explore social, emotional, and behavioral topics that are relevant both to their curricula and their students' lives.
A world of learning and exploration
Our immersive approach has students watch thematically-connected films, reflect on what they’ve seen to make their own interpretations, and engage in guided discussions that amplify their learning and create shared meaning.
With measurable outcomes
Participant evaluations, sent to your inbox, will demonstrate new mastery of material, sophisticated analysis of complex issues, and an increased likelihood to seek support for their own mental health when needed.
