Sample Curriculum Lessons
The MPP curriculum gives teachers and students the tools to support their mental well-being—together, in 15 minutes or less.
Every lesson includes an engaging video guided by a student voice and a corresponding journal prompt, and starts with a grounding One Line a Day that anchors students in the present moment before introducing new content. Then, each lesson falls into one of three types:
BIG IDEAS
Explain the science behind mindfulness and positivity.
MINDFUL MEDITATIONS
Guide students through calming practices.
POSITIVITY PRACTICES
Bring the science to life with hands-on reflection.

The Wandering Mind
Calming Big Feelings
Our minds wander nearly half the time—and usually to the negative. This foundational lesson introduces mindfulness as a tool for noticing thoughts, softening self-judgment, and staying present. The paired meditation supports students in navigating big emotions with self-compassion.
Learning From Failure
Resilience and Self-Reflection
Inspired by Michael Jordan’s quote, “I can accept failure… but I can't accept not trying,” this lesson invites students to reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. Students reflect on a recent failure and identify what they learned—and how they’ve grown.
The Power of Gratitude
Building Optimism
This lesson teaches students that gratitude isn’t about “looking on the bright side”—it’s about training the brain to notice what is already good in their life, and how to focus on that. Students learn the science behind gratitude, then journal about a person, opportunity, or moment they appreciate.
