Literacy class explores couplets using MindUP and neuroscience as a subject. MindUP™ is a research-based training program for educators and children. Founder Goldie Hawn collaborated with neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists and educators to create MindUP™, a program that fosters a classroom-learning environment where a child’s ability to academically succeed and personally thrive is maximized and directly linked to their overall state of well-being.
