Be Cool is a program created by James Stanfield, Ed.D. We use Be Cool in the elementary schools to help our students learn how to manage difficult situations. Be Cool introduces Chester the Cat for K-2 students and we share a variety of videos and activities that teach students how they can control their emotions and express themselves appropriately. Students 3-5 are introduced to more complex scenarios and we also introduce role-playing to help students learn how to handle difficult situations with peers and adults. This page will help you understand the program a little bit more and you can continue to work with your children at home using the same terms we do at school!
