STAFF DEVELOPMENT
Educators are our real-life heroes
Educators are core to our program’s success. Our curriculum is specially designed to provide preventative mental health support for the entire school, so we can all thrive together.
Educator Well-Being
This course is designed for adults working in education. This series of modules introduces the research and science on well-being and mindful teaching through the lens of MindUP’s four pillars—neuroscience, mindful awareness, positive psychology, and social and emotional learning (SEL). It offers opportunities to learn, reflect, and develop strategies to help manage stress and support mental well-being.
Trauma-Sensitive Learning Evironments
This course is designed to help educators understand the impact and influence of trauma on students in their classrooms and schools. It introduces trauma-sensitive practices that can be included in teaching to help students experience success despite difficult life situations.
Building Community with and Equity Lens
This course is designed to support educators’ understanding of equity in their classrooms. This series of modules focuses on classroom community, the importance of culturally responsive teaching, the value of creating safe spaces for students in learning environments, and how to identify elements of bias and encourage student voice.
MindUP for Senior Leaders and Administrators
This course is designed to provide district- and school-level leaders with information and strategies to help them support school-wide implementation of the MindUP program. Research has shown that school leaders hold the key to successful school-wide social and emotional learning (SEL) initiatives. This module explores how leaders’ involvement can have a profound impact on the benefits of MindUP for both adults and students in their learning communities.
