MindUP

The MindUP Curriculum is a comprehensive set of lessons and strategies designed to increase the learning potential of students by helping then focus their attention and improve their ability to self-regulate. Additionally the curriculum aims to help students build resilience to stress and develop a positive mindset, not only in school but in life in general. This evidence based curriculum incorporates social emotional learning into every aspect of the learning environment. The curriculum is available for K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 grades. It proves that social emotional learning is not separate from traditional subjects. The curriculum teaches educators and social workers how to incorporate simple lessons into daily lesson plans that have long lasting impact on students.

MindUP aligns with the School Social Work Model in that it is an evidence based program that addresses education and behavior. The skills taught to students help promote a school climate and culture that is conducive to learning.
