The Up, Inc. Information

Inspiring communities to connect through self-discovery and life-skills education. What We Do: The Up method measures the adaptability of the individual's learning process to ensure that the curriculum is consistently defining, reinforcing, and updating the student's value structure. Our philosophy is to teach and confirm the retention of information navigation tools and the decision-making process rather than memorization of content on self-care and personal responsibility; equipping the individual with the skills to handle the unexpected. Our measurement of success is a reduction in experiences perceived as negative and an increase in emotional processing with the use of critical thinking and curiosity versus anxiety and aggression. The Up program adopts the coaching approach fostering possibilities and facilitating change in student’s lives as opposed to the expert approach attempting to “solve” a problem and provide all the answers. Our lectures and curriculum feature experts that update student’s value structure and prepare them for the future. How We Do It: We build course curriculums with evidence-based research, expert interviews, literary works, and historical facts. We use that information to create adaptive and interactive learning with a blend of video lecture, collaborative participation including real-time surveys for visual-aid, community resource exploration, crisis simulation, and emotional dexterity practice in our Team Up discussion forums.
