Know what your students are feeling

A friendly way for kids to share things that might be hard to talk about.

Emotional check-ins

Whether students are in class, hybrid or fully remote, Edsby now gives teachers a quick and easy way to poll students at the beginning of their day, or throughout the day, on how they’re feeling.

Age-appropriate selections

Younger students don’t have the same emotion vocabulary or skills as older ones. So Edsby presents emotion options to choose from that are tailored to students’ grade levels, accompanied by developmentally appropriate definitions. Suggested regulation strategies for each emotion, curated by experts, are also age appropriate.

Specifically colored icons

Animated icons representing emotions are color-coded by SEL experts to represent emotion intensity level and how pleasant the emotion is. Teachers can see the types of emotions their students say they’re experiencing and can determine which students may need additional attention.

Spot outliers or trends

Teachers see when there are new check-ins and can monitor patterns and trends over time. They also see if a student has opted not to check in, which is a student’s valid choice.

Recommendations for teachers

Teachers see what emotional regulation strategies have been presented to each student and receive their own professionally-curated strategies for educators based on what their students are feeling.

Confidential information

Edsby maintains students’ trust by keeping emotional check in information confidential between student and teacher.

Take action

Help make a difference in students’ well-being.

Facilitate conversations

Even in the absence of a formal SEL program, the Edsby Check-In system gives students and teachers a way to start a dialogue around emotions. Teachers and students can communicate and begin to build their emotion vocabulary literacy and their own personal toolkits of emotion regulation strategies to augment official SEL programs.

Loop in stakeholders

Edsby enables teachers to communicate privately with students and/or their parents, and/or guidance counsellors within the school’s same official, protected communications system.

360° view of students

In Edsby Check-Ins, a student’s Edsby Panorama is only ever a click away, including their comprehensive academic history, parent information, attendance records and more.

Ways to manage care

Students that might benefit from extra care can be grouped together for special educator attention. Edsby Monitor Groups, a long-established and appreciated feature of Edsby, can be set up as desired by teachers or guidance counsellors.

Research-based social and emotional guidance

Strategies informed by decades of SEL and emotion research.

Designed with academics

User interface, icon color, age-appropriate emotion selection and culturally responsive regulation strategy content in Edsby Check-Ins come courtesy of a team of academic advisors and an exclusive relationship with MindUP—an evidence-based non-profit program designed to improve children’s emotional well-being founded by actress Goldie Hawn. MindUP is aligned with current SEL research and is accredited by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, or CASEL.
