‘Kelso in Action’ DVD Wins Two Omni Awards

Elementary conflict management DVD recognized for its outstanding standard of excellence

San Francisco, CA—February 23, 2012— Cerebellum Corporation, the producer and distributor of the Standard Deviants videos, was recently honored with two 2011 Omni Awards for the “Kelso In Action” DVD in the Educational Video and Children’s Video categories. The DVD is part of the Kelso’s Choice Conflict Management Curriculum and helps aid in the emotional and social growth of elementary students while acting as a bullying preventative tool.

For more than 20 years, the Kelso’s Choice program has empowered students to make positive choices and today it is a recommended resource among elementary guidance counselors. Led by Kelso, a child-friendly frog that teaches students mediation skills by presenting nine easy-to-recall ways they can resolve minor conflicts. Using the DVD, students are able to determine the difference between problems they can handle on their own and problems that require an adult’s help.

The “Kelso In Action” DVD and Kelso’s Choice Conflict Management Curriculum kit operate on the core concept that every child is capable of becoming a peacemaker. Both resources are divided by grade levels to address the developmental difference of lower and upper elementary students.

“We have worked closely with the authors of Kelso’s Choice to develop the latest “Kelso In Action” DVD which was launched just last year. During the two-year development process, our team used their comprehensive understanding of what both educators and students needed in a conflict management tool,” said James Rena, President of Cerebellum Corporation. “It is a great honor to be recognized for our efforts and this award further encourages us to provide the highest quality guidance materials.”

The Omni Awards exist to recognize outstanding media productions that engage, empower and enlighten in the fields of Film and Video, Animation and Effects, and Website Design. The award carries with it the distinction of being chosen by professionals in the field using a rigorous judging process patterned after the Emmy Awards. The Omni is a nationally-recognized award that is only given to those who exemplify the highest standards of quality.
