Iasevoli, B. (2017, September 30). Here’s What a ‘Kindness Curriculum’ Looks Like.

Scientists want to make kindness as integral to the curriculum as reading or math. Researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Healthy Minds have created a “kindness curriculum” which they have tested in six schools in that city. The curriculum is available online for free and has so far been downloaded 7,300 times. Twice a week for 20 minutes during pilot testing of the curriculum, pre-kindergartners did activities aimed at helping them to pay attention, regulate their emotions, and practice kindness.
