MindUP™ Workshop (K-8) with Carolyn Gelenter

The MindUP™ curriculum is a universal program that teaches social and emotional learning skills that draw on cognitive neuroscience, positive psychology and mindful awareness training. The program is comprised of 15 lessons in which students are taught to self-regulate behavior and mindfully engage in focused concentration required for academic success.

Each lesson offers easy 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. The lessons fit easily into any schedule and require minimal preparation. Classroom management tips and content-area activities help you extend the benefits of MindUP throughout your day, week, and year.

MindUP™ is a mindfulness-based social and emotional learning curriculum program (K-8) for educators and students that aims to help children:

• Improve focus, concentration, and academic performance
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Handle peer-to-peer conflicts
• Manage emotions and reactions
• Develop greater empathy toward others
• Choose optimism
