Steps
The Doodle notices kindness
It recognizes acts of kindness as they happen: being kind, hard-working, a good listener.
It leaves notes
Praise appears from the Doodle — for a student, or for the whole class.
Kindness spreads
The Doodle performs its own acts of kindness too, and the class starts spotting and matching them.
Tips
- Notes land best when they're specific — what the Doodle saw, not just "good job."
What it supports
Research it’s built on
Evidence note: The Bowen & Kisida (2019) findings apply to grades 3-8; preschool claims rest on cooperative-play research from age 4 (Garaigordobil) and the early-childhood arts review (Birrell 2024).
Compliance determinations are always the district’s or institution’s.
