BACKGROUND
The mind+heart social and 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 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. Teachers are provided with all lesson materials,
instructions, and a layout that is simple and easy to implement. mind+heart is a flexible
SEL curriculum that can be taught when teachers have time, while the recommendation
is to teach a lesson once to twice or more a week.

mind+heart is research based and loosely aligns to the CASEL framework of the 5 core
competences for SEL. It provides educators with an affordable option that is
comprehensive and appropriate for the K-2 classroom.
