Description: MindUp is an evidenced based, social and emotional program of The Hawn Foundation built upon neuroscience, positive psychology, mindful awareness training and self-regulation. The 12 lessons (6 per session) offer easy strategies for helping students focus their attention, improve their self-regulation skills, learn calming techniques, build resilience to stress, and develop a positive mind-set. The curriculum uses research-based lessons with the latest information about the brain to improve behavior and learning. It is shown to enhance perspective taking, self-regulation and social skills. Instruction methods include games, stories and movement (not lectures).
Attendance at both sessions is recommended to optimize learning these skills, but it is not required.
