Center for Healthy Minds

Some Wisconsin elementary school teachers are incorporating simple mental exercises in the classroom to promote well-being, thanks to a research partnership between the Madison Metropolitan School District and the Center for Healthy Minds.

The Center conducted research with 5th grade classroom teachers and other personnel at Glendale Elementary in Madison during the 2014-15 school year, sharing practices with teachers and students to improve attention and students' emotion regulation skills.

Research experts at the Center are finding diverse ways to share these skills with kids, including through songs and pop culture... and one very special guest.
