“MindUP™ is a research-based training program for educators and children. This program is composed of 15 lessons based in neuroscience.

Students learn to self-regulate behavior and mindfully engage in focused concentration required for academic success. MindUP™ lessons align

with all state standards including Common Core and support improved academic performance while enhancing perspective taking, empathy

and kindness as well as fostering complex problem solving skills.”

“Utilizing MindUP™ in the classroom allows teachers to:

• Help kids maintain focused attention
• Form more accurate perceptions of students
• Think more clearly especially under pressure
• Improve communication with students, parents and staff
• Improve the overall classroom climate by infusing it with optimism and hope
• Helps to create a stronger, more vibrant school culture
• Be happier, more joyful and grateful — a disposition that ultimately spills out of the classroom and into private life
• Experience greater job satisfaction”
