Improving student learning with the tools of neuroscience and mindfulness.

How is expanding studentsâ€™ strengths more effective than improving their weaknesses? Why is creating a school where staff and students feel safe necessary for learning? How can anchoring with simple mindfulness practices prevent classroom behavioral problems?

There is more to a classroom than just a teacher and a group of students. All classroom interactions have â€œinvisibleâ€ neurobiological, emotional, and social aspectsâ€”the emotional histories of students, the teacherâ€™s own background and biography. In this book, Kirke Olson takes lessons from brain science, mindfulness, and positive psychology to help teachers understand the full range of their studentsâ€™ school experiences. Using its classroom-ready resources, teachers, administrators, parents, and policy makers can make the invisible visible, turning human investment in their students into the best possible learning outcomes.
