A curriculum for teachers that presents fifteen lessons for students, in grades Pre-K through second, on how the brain can improve behavior and learning. Lessons include focused awareness, mindful listening, and expressing gratitude. They foster social & emotional awareness. Each lesson offers strategies for helping students focus their attention, improve their self-regulation skills, build resilience to stress, and develop a positive mind-set in both school and life. All lessons begin with background information on the brain, introducing specific areas of concentration, each with an activity in which children can see concrete examples of how their brain functions. The lessons fit into any schedule and require minimal preparation. Classroom management tips and content-area activities help extend the benefits of MindUP. | |
