“In 2017-18, Hermosa Beach added grades 6 through 8 to the MindUP SEL curriculum that incorporates breathing exercises and physical activities into class time for stress reduction, emotion regulation and attention improvement. A middle school advisory period was added the following year where teachers interact with students to promote growth mindset in the classroom, the belief that students and teachers can achieve success through dedication and hard work.” (more)
