Frequently Asked Questions
Clanbeat is a space for students’ growth and well-being — through supporting them in taking an active role in their learning and life (i.e. agency). At the heart of it, there is the cycle of setting goals, planning actions, acting and reflecting.
While going through the loop, students monitor how they feel, how they perform and how they learn. That is in order to strengthen their foundations of social and emotional skills and learning to learn skills. It all happens in a community of interactions and synergy. The experience is designed such that it contributes towards students’ adaptability to succeed in the changing world.
Clanbeat is supporting self-directed learning (SDL) and social-emotional learning (SEL) framework. Clanbeat is co-created with educational psychologists from Tallinn University, Grete Arro and Kati Aus, who are avid advocates of supporting students in their learning journeys of becoming better learners with a growth mindset.
Growth mindset is a muscle you can grow and even small steps are making a world difference in some child’s ability to succeed in life. If the school you are working in does not support students setting their own goals then start with the time you have together with them and walk them through – if not having all their homework and life goals in one place, then start with just one goal. But the most important one! And have this as a safe place for reflecting and connecting on their everyday life for more social-emotional skills.
Using Clanbeat has impact in better academic results, more student agency, more personalised interventions, increased well-being and what’s most important – having more wholesome human beings who are able to create positive change in the world.
