This presentation was recorded on December 10, 2007, at the CASEL Forum, an event in New York City that brought together seventy-five global leaders in education and related fields to raise awareness about social and emotional learning (SEL) and introduce important scientific findings related to SEL.

brain based learning and emotions

Yea! My brain is still changing and for the better! Wow! So when a student demonstrates positive behavior choices, then, their brain has changed! If a teacher uses active listening, calms a child, day after day from whatever environmental ravages (external or internal) that child will experience a physical change in their brain. Teaching is an awesome responsibility. lela
Calming Emotions Within Class

I was very impressed by the video. Within my own classrooms, as a learning support teacher, I observe 1-3 minutes of silence before test-taking, to calm the students brains in a state of meditation. I have found that students are more willing to want to apply themselves more to such tasks, when they have calmed their emotions. I look forward to hearing more!

The video adds understanding to the development how the field of cognitive science will integrate into educational components of teaching and learning. Neuro Scientist will be valuable resource towards developing the educational tools of the future. Welcome to the interdisciplinary team. It will probably take a lot time to develop and integrate the components brain based learning but it has possibilities.
The evidence and conclusions
Submitted by Sheryl Gusman (not verified) on July 21, 2008 - 21:43.
The evidence and conclusions presented by Mr. Davidson show exciting information about the importance of social and emotional learning. As a high school teacher of psychology, I related to the brain knowledge presented and am excited to share the research discussed in the video with my students. As a teacher in the classroom who has been trained in the importance of positive emotions on learning, I am excited that there if futher evidence of the necessity of creating a safe and positive learning environment for our students. As a graduate student working toward my masters, I found the area very interesting and I will be researching it further in future scholarly pursuits.
online teaching

I am a veteran English teacher, with 15 years of experience. I recently moved from a classroom to an online high school, where I connect with my students only through the Internet and phone. It is wonderful to learn more about how I can shape interactions in a positive way, which actually affect the brain development of my students. Wow. Thanks for this video!

This research gives me hope that one day we will know enough about the brain’s function that specific skills can be used in the classroom to more affectively help children who do not know how to control their emotions. Providing a safe, calm environment at school is not enough.
It is stated in the video that there was a change even after one hour of social-emotional training. I wonder what techniques can be used now to successfully teach these qualities in a classroom setting.

This information is so interesting. I appreciate the visuals in the video. They help clarify the presented material.
As a teacher I'm glad to keep informed on how the brain functions when related to learning and memory.
It reminds me of the importance to provide a calm and safe school environment for the students and teachers alike.
Viewing video in classrooms

Dear Angela,
We regret that the videos cannot be enlarged for full-screen viewing.
Meaningful, accessible and applicable
Submitted by Angela Arndt (not verified) on March 6, 2008 - 09:13.
The piece is a substantive and comprehensive presentation of an intriguing concept. I am particularly interested in how implementing emotional learning creates a documented physiological change in the brain.
On a technical note, it seems that I am not able to enlarge the image for a full-screen presentation in order to share it with my class. Am I missing a feature or is this the design of the video elements?
Thanks for a great resource.
