“Combining the ART of storytelling with the SCIENCE of Spaced-Repetition”
The Beginning of a Hero™ is a series of two-minute stories (audio or video) for use on elementary school intercom systems. These stories portray a wide variety of very realistic scenarios in everyday student life, whether in the classroom, on the school grounds, in the neighborhood, or at home. Each story introduces a negative or challenging situation that, through the power of choice (often encouraged by a teacher, principal, counselor, parent, or peer) is turned around for a positive ending. The common language throughout the program is that HELPING is the opposite of hurting, and that a person who HELPS is known as a HERO, whether HELPING others or HELPING one’s own future self. Each of these stories opens with the words “A HERO is a person who does special things to HELP others. Every HERO starts out as a child and every child can CHOOSE to become a HERO.” And each story ends (music up and under) with the words: “That’s what I know about the beginning of this HERO, and I know that you can become a HERO, too!”
