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. Additionally, students who participated in the MindUP program had significant improvements in many SEL skills and attitudes, which include self-reported executive functioning, perspective-taking, optimism, empathy, mindfulness, and emotional control over this same period.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. The study found students who participated in the program had significant improvements in peer-nominated prosocial behaviors (i.e., sharing, trustworthiness, helpfulness, taking others’ views), academic self-concept, and self-reported depressive symptomology compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 1 year after baseline while controlling for outcome pretest). The evaluation included grade 4 and 5 students enrolled in suburban schools in Canada (66% of participants identified English as their native language, 25% reported an East Asian language).

Additionally, students who participated in the MindUP program showed significant teacher-reported improvements in aggressive behaviors, oppositional behaviors, attention and concentration, and social and emotional competence (i.e., empathy, compassion) compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 10 weeks after baseline).Ī randomized controlled trial study (RCT) conducted in the 2007-2008 school year (published in 2015) supported the effectiveness of MindUP for elementary school students. This evaluation found that students who participated in the program showed significant increases in self-reported optimism compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 10 weeks after baseline).

This evaluation included 246 students who were in grades 4 to 7 in Canada (57% of the participants identified English as their first language, 23% reported an East Asian language). Results from a quasi-experimental (QE) study conducted in the 2005-2006 school year (published in 2010) supported the effectiveness of MindUP for elementary school students.
