What is a Livestream Event?
A Livestream Event is a 35-minute virtual lesson delivered live to schools who have signed up. During the livestream, classrooms or individuals interact in real time with our Actor/Educator Hosts who deliver lessons in the Mental Health & Wellbeing topics using an arts integration pedagogy.
What is included with a Livestream Event?
Each of our Livestream Events includes:
- Online Teaching and Learning Tool Kit for teacher preparation
- 35-minute, live event presenting each specific topic
- Real-time interaction and Q & A with students during the Live Event
- Follow-up activities and assessments available in the online Tool Kit
Do your Livestream Events contain content that align with curriculum standards?
All of the topics and content in our livestreams align to national curriculum. For a description of each title and which standards they align to, please visit our website.
How does The Mind Masters support SEL teaching strategies?
The Mind Masters supports SEL teaching strategies by aligning virtual content and follow-up lessons with the five core competencies of the Casel SEL Framework. Our livestream hosts establish a culture of kindness and respect during the programs, using terms and phrases that nurture a growth mindset for the program participants. Students can work in pairs and/or social groups to complete activities and discuss the subject matter, encouraging them to collaborate and form productive relationships with their peers.
How many Livestream Events can a school attend?
Once your school has signed up, all teachers have access to the topics divided into three modules – giving you access to a selection of over 100 Livestream Events during the school year.
Can a school attend Livestream Events on more than one day, week or month?
Yes, every teacher (and every student) in a registered school may attend any or all of our 100 annual Livestream Events.
How many schools can attend one Livestream Event?
Our platform supports millions of individual users logging in to attend the event, so basically, unlimited.
Does a school need any special technology in order to watch the Livestream Event?
Participants need an internet connection to log in, and a device with audio to watch and listen. The stream can be viewed on phones, laptops, computers, smartscreens, etc. If multiple people are watching from the same location (such as in a classroom), we recommend that the fewest devices possible are used. This allows for a more collaborative experience and can help ensure the best internet connection.
How does a school access the Livestream Events?
Once signed up, the schools primary contact will be provided with a link to the Livestream Event along with all necessary details. They are instructed to share this information with their staff, and in the case of distance learning, forward it to the student’s home.
Does the Livestream Event require a log in and do you collect any data?
No log in is asked for or required. We do not require or collect any data that can be tracked to an individual viewer.
How long is each Livestream Event available?
The link that the school receives to their scheduled event is the link to ALL Livestream Events for that topic over the school term. One copy of each topic will be archived and available in the resource hub for teachers and students to use on demand.
Can a school or viewer come late to a Livestream Event?
Yes, if a viewer or viewers log in late to the Livestream Event, they will arrive at the “live” moment within the event. They can continue from there or track back to the beginning of the stream but won’t be able to take true advantage of the live interaction, Q & A, etc.
What happens if a school misses their scheduled Livestream Event, or if some of the school misses it?
If you miss a Livestream Event, there are many options. You can go to the next available event – which could be that same day. In addition, you also have the ability to reference past topics on demand in your library.
Can you perform for all 450 of my students at once? Or just my class of 25?
There is no maximum audience size. The more, the merrier.
The dates/times you offered don’t work for our school. Can we look at other dates?
The calendar of all 100 Livestream Events is prepared in advance and each event is available live at those times only. Each topic will be recorded and added to the resource hub following its live debut.
What does an annual subscription cost?
Nothing! The entire program and access to Livestream Events and content is FREE! All we need is for your school to sign up and teachers to schedule their classrooms for their preferred dates and times.
