O.T. Grades 1-3 : Helping students to succeed ALL DAY
I base a lot of my Mindulness practice with students by both developing my own practice and by using the MindUp Curriculum in an integrated manner with other minduflness activities.
The MindUp Curriculum by Scholastic. Developed by the Goldie Hawn Foundation
Every brain needs a break! MindUP™ for Pk- 8th grade is a Teaching Curriculum and Framework that was created by Goldie Hawn in 2003 along with researchers, scientists and educators to assist students in managing stress and anxiety and to improve student learning, focus, engagement, joy and social emotional resilience in the classroom. Teaching becomes easier as well when mindfulness is increased. The website states that MindUP™ has four strategic pillars: Neuroscience, Mindful Awareness, Positive Psychology, and that these are catalyst for Social Emotional Learning.
