Mind Up Curriculum

Mind Up Curriculum

MindUP, which is strongly rooted in neuroscience, delivers to kids the knowledge and abilities they need to manage their stress and emotions, build healthy relationships, and behave with love and compassion. MindUp promotes children's wellbeing by offering educational initiatives that are based in mindful awareness, neuroscience, positive psychology, and socio-emotional learning. 




MindUp is a CASEL SELect program. MindUp has been given the CASEL SELect designation is one that is evidence-based, well-designed, and classroom-based, promotes students' social and emotional competence systematically, offers opportunities for practice, and offers multi-year programming, and provides high-quality training and other implementation support.



This program can be done in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 because this program would benefit anyone. When students use this program, it becomes a way of life and helps them in everyday life. Another wonderful feature of this program is that there are specific curriculums and programs for life, for schools. and for parents! 

It has been demonstrated that the evidence based MindUP for Schools program increases pro-social behavior, reduces aggressive behaviors, and enhances academic performance, particularly in math and language arts.

What really got me was the statistics presented! MindUp reports that 86% of children say that they boosted their well-being by using MindUp, that 88% percent of children who learn MindUp report continuing it throughout life at home, and 83% of children report having improved pro social behaviors. These are very high success rates and the fact that it is a lifelong learning skill is the most vital! One of the not-so-great aspects of MindUp is that some programs cost money. One of the best rated programs called, "Golden Nuggets" can only be obtained at a cost and at the moment it is sold out on their website. This "Golden Nuggets" toolkit promotes joy, optimism, and appreciation through enjoyable activities while also assisting students in understanding their brains and practicing mindfulness.



We can virtually bring MindUP to schools and the classroom thanks to a training model created by MindUp. They are currently providing a number of virtual MindUP trainings for schools, districts, administrators, and families that are both synchronous and asynchronous.

Superflex  Let me first say that I love the central idea and goal of this program! Superflex is a program that can be for both parents and educators. To assist educators and parents in setting up a customized Superflex Superhero Training Academy for their students, the Superflex Curriculum provides lesson ideas. Students discover that everyone has the ability to become super flexible and that they can change into their own unique Superflex. Superflex Takes on Rock Brain and the Team of Unthinkables, a 21-page comic book, is included with the course materials. How Aiden developed his super flexible thinking abilities to become Superflex is the subject of this comic! The student's barriers to understanding the behaviors are broken down by depicting them as comic book characters, and the superhero Superflex aids in developing the critical thinking skills needed to control their actions and reactions. Students can express their sentiments, intentions, and points of view using Supe...
