Based firmly in neuroscience, MindUP teaches the skills and knowledge children need to regulate their stress and emotion, form positive relationships, and act with kindness and compassion. MindUP For Parents and Families provides you with resources and strategies for finding optimism, building resilience, and creating solutions the entire family can use. We are here to review some of the material you learned in your MindUP lessons with your teacher and practice ways to be mindfully aware of our bodies and our thoughts. The study found students who participated in the program had significant improvements in peer-nominated prosocial behaviors (i.e., sharing, trustworthiness, helpfulness, taking others’ views), academic self-concept, and self-reported depressive symptomology compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 1 year after baseline while controlling for outcome pretest). My name is and welcome to another MindUP booster lesson. The evaluation included grade 4 and 5 students enrolled in suburban schools in Canada (66% of participants identified English as their native language, 25% reported an East Asian language). Additionally, students who participated in the MindUP program showed significant teacher-reported improvements in aggressive behaviors, oppositional behaviors, attention and concentration, and social and emotional competence (i.e., empathy, compassion) compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 10 weeks after baseline).Ī randomized controlled trial study (RCT) conducted in the 2007-2008 school year (published in 2015) supported the effectiveness of MindUP for elementary school students. It includes programming for grades preK-8 and demonstrates evidence of effectiveness at grade 4-7. This evaluation found that students who participated in the program showed significant increases in self-reported optimism compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 10 weeks after baseline). MindUp, offered by the Goldie Hawn Foundation, provides a lesson-based approach to SEL. What is MindUp The MindUP curriculum contains 15 teacher-led lessons that focus on Social-Emotional Learning by linking brain science, positive psychology, and mindful awareness. This evaluation included 246 students who were in grades 4 to 7 in Canada (57% of the participants identified English as their first language, 23% reported an East Asian language). We can see our children’s behavior more objectively when we are able to put it into a biological context. Results from a quasi-experimental (QE) study conducted in the 2005-2006 school year (published in 2010) supported the effectiveness of MindUP for elementary school students.
