Where evolutionary theory, history, education, (ortho)pedagogy, philosophy and anthropology meet, the sense and nonsense of punishment in parenting and education is thoroughly analyzed. And what about rewarding? It turns out that rewarding is based on the same principles as punishment. That is why the author introduces connectedness as the origin and goal of human relations. Sanctioning is next introduced as an alternative for punishment and rewarding.

There's never been a more chaotic and tenuous time in our nation's educational story. Learning is the most natural thing human beings do. Yet, it seems the “harder” we work in schools helping our students to acquire the learning they need, the academic performances stay stagnant or lessen. Schools are not machines. Schools are a network of human beings who feel, think, behave, and function within a human system that is alive and never static. Schools are living systems! This system is wired to thrive, even through difficult times – Lori and Michael believe that we can begin to create wholeness and connection within our schools mindfully and by design. We can create places where all children thrive.

Over the past two decades, significant advancement has been made in
understanding the role the brain plays in human behavior. Along with
this new and exciting information emerges a responsibility for
therapeutic professionals to have a solid understanding of the “brain
basics” needed to support the lives of troubled children and youth. The
Hopeful Brain authors provide a common-sense look at modern neuroscience
and its application to positive youth development, psychology and
educational support. Baker and White-McMahon take on the often daunting
world of complex neuroscience and provide readers with practical
strategies that are easy to use and apply across a variety of settings.
This book explores the importance of using strength-based interventions and
creating structured opportunities to “reimburse” troubled children and
youth with positive experiences that teach and transform.

According to Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) http://www.casel.org/social-and-emotional-learning/ social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that can enhance personal development, establish satisfying interpersonal relationships, and lead to effective and ethical work and productivity. These include the competencies to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show caring and concern for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Research indicates that there is a direct link between social and emotional skills and academic learning. According to CASEL many risky behaviors can be prevented or reduced when social and emotional learning is integrated into the curriculum. This is best done through explicit instruction and through student-centered learning approaches that help students engage in the learning process and develop analytical, communication, and collaborative skills.
The Minded Brain is a “hands-on” educational curriculum designed to enhance the social, emotional and cultural needs of students through target experiential learning activities. It uses targeted instructional techniques to support social emotional learning within an easy-to-use NeuroRelational framework.
