Students feelings revealed in the emojis displayed above their heads

Kids don’t always know how to say what’s on their mind.

When students feel heard & understood, we all win.

Class Catalyst is a CASEL SELect Designated Program.

Evan Winkler Quote“That’s such a great thing about Class Catalyst. You have the data instantly to tell you they are ready to learn, or they are not ready to learn. Do they have the energy or not, whether they write anything in there, you already know whether they do or not.”

— Evan Winkler, School Administrator

Robin Sizemore quote“Class Catalyst stands out in supporting student well-being by way of the status update feature, where students can privately and confidentially share how they’re feeling or what they’ve been going through. In our school district, it’s made a big difference for our entire community. We’ve been able to support so many students who are facing scary or even dangerous situations simply because they had a safe space to speak up. That simple message box has opened the door to real help and healing.”

— Robin Sizemore, SEL/mental health coordinator

Ken Byrne quote“Teachers have been able use student check-in data to diffuse situations before they escalated into something more significant. Teachers are saying that the student check-in is short but impactful.

— Ken Byrne, Support Programs Coordinator

Melody Farmer Quote Icon“We love Class Catalyst! It has provided me with real time data to address my students needs.  It helps my students self-regulate emotions and actions, it ensures an ease to promote positive discourse among students and it has taught students lessons about respecting each other’s feelings and differences.

Class Catalyst is a win in my classroom that increases social emotional learning and meeting students’ needs.

— Melody Farmer, 1st Grade Teacher

Mike Earnshaw quote“Class Catalyst has been a game changer for our 4th and 5th graders! Many of our classes use Class Catalyst twice a day, once in the morning to check in and get things going and then again after lunch to set a positive and productive tone for the afternoon.

The teachers and social workers have been able to identify and address issues through the student check-ins and help students work through issues before they become something bigger.

— Michael Earnshaw, Principal

Dujanne Evans Quote Icon“With Class Catalyst… teachers have noticed a remarkable improvement in students’ ability to self-regulate and share their needs more openly.

— Dujanne Evans, 5th Grade Teacher

Kayden Quote“I’m not the type of person that likes to express my feelings out loud. With Class Catalyst I can just type it.”

— Kayden, 9th Grade Student

Katie Segal Quote Icon“We are truly grateful for our partnership with the Class Catalyst team, and the impact it has had on our school community at Sabin… all grade levels at Sabin have access to Class Catalyst, which has provided a space for students to self-reflect and check in on themselves, while simultaneously providing teachers with an understanding of how we can best support our students. Thank you for your partnership, Class Catalyst team!

— Katherine Siegel, School Counselor

Charlie Gallardo quote“Class Catalyst really stands out because it makes daily emotional check-ins quick and easy for students. It helps build, I believe, a school culture where self-awareness, communication, and connection are part of the routine, in just a few minutes.

It gives teachers a real time window into the student’s emotional well-being. This helps us catch concerns early and we can step in with support before things escalate or become bigger issues. So I truly love Class Catalyst because it is a simple tool that makes a big difference.

— Charlie Gallardo, Director of Guidance and Counseling

Fabiola Serrano Quote Icon“I get to check in with my students. I don’t have to go personally and ask them, and they feel the comfortable. They feel comfortable enough to actually write down their thoughts, their feelings. I love that it’s really fast to use… a quick, little fast check in. And I love the alerts, the alerts for the words, like, I had an alert the other day for somebody who talked about stress, right? So I was able to check in with her, follow up with her. So that, to me, is really key, and it serves as, almost like a reminder, right?”

— Fabiola Serrano, Academic Interventionist

Jacob Lopez quote“I have been very pleased with Class Catalyst and the benefits that it provides. I truly feel that as a result of it the relationship between students and staff is being fostered in a great and positive way. Often students will come up to me and say that they have seen my reply and it sparks a conversation I don’t think we would have otherwise had.

I have also seen students open up about things that I think would have otherwise gone unnoticed. So thanks to you and your team for this amazing resource!”

— Jacob Lopez, Positive Behavior Specialist

Aleksandar Jovanovic quote“Class Catalyst has been extremely beneficial to us here at Von Linne, specifically our students. We’ve been advocates of the program for, for many years. We love the fact that it’s a proactive strategy that students are able to utilize to help acknowledge, reflect on, and cope with, what it is that they are feeling. Not only does it help to promote positive mental health awareness in our students, but helps to foster and build a positive school community.”

— Aleksandar Jovanovic, Assistant Principal
