Big Heart Beats Learning Guide for Parents and Educators

Big Heart World draws upon best practices for social and emotional learning and standards, such as CASEL and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, to help families learn together about social and emotional skills — what it means to have a big heart and how to grow one. 

Each Big Heart unit has an original music video which helps reinforce the theme. The songs, together, are called The Big Heart Beats Album. They are available for free here! 

This guide helps you learn how to use the songs — at home or at school — to help students learn about social and emotional skills, from feelings to friendship to upstanding!
