MindUP™ features lessons to improve behavior and learning for children. The SEL framework guiding MindUP™ was developed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), a research-focused organization whose mission is to “establish social and emotional learning as an essential part of education.” Among the various MindUP™ skills taught to students, focused attention and nonreactive monitoring of experience from moment to moment display the potential to have a long-term impact on brain function and social and emotional behavior. MindUP™ is a family of social, emotional, and attentional self-regulatory strategies and skills developed for cultivating well-being and emotional balance. She explains the underlying rationale behind MindUp is that happy, well-adjusted children have a more-enhanced ability to learn and flourish, and that once taught, and with regular practice, children are able to use MindUP exercises whenever they feel the need.As The Hawn Foundation’s signature educational initiative, MindUP™ is anchored in current research in cognitive neuroscience, evidence-based classroom pedagogy, best-practices mindful education, precepts of social and emotional learning (SEL), and guiding principles of positive psychology. “MindUp strategies are not separate from learning, it is part of learning,” says Ms McColskey. Exercises include strategies that help children to focus on their breathing, an age-old exercise in finding calm and balance. University studies involving hundreds of educators in the US and Canada underpins that consistent classroom use of MindUP strategies create more optimistic classrooms, and foster positive cultures in schools. Developed by the Hawn Foundation in the US with collaboration from early childhood specialists, MindUP provides a set of social, emotional, and self-regulatory strategies and skills developed for pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students to cultivate well-being and emotional balance.
