What is mind+heart?
The mind+heart social emotional learning curriculum was designed to help teachers instruct young children to develop emotional literacy, self-control, and social competence. The ultimate goal is for primary aged children to develop a healthy sense of self and positive peer relations that will continue throughout their lives.
Children will learn to express their emotions appropriately, solve problems, develop a “growth mindset”, build relationships, and be thoughtful, empathetic citizens who take responsibility and show respect.
mind+heart includes a variety of thought-provoking lessons and discussions, community building ideas, and engaging activities to help build important social and emotional skills. Children will have many opportunities to learn, practice, and develop SEL through a variety of lessons and activities.
mind+heart loosely aligns with the CASEL framework of the 5 core competencies for SEL, as well as other state SEL initiatives, which are research-based. It provides educators with an affordable option that is comprehensive and appropriate for the K-2 classroom.
