  • Teachers are the caretakers of the development of students’ highest brain during the years of its most extensive changes. As such, they have the privilege and opportunity to influence the quality and quantity of neuronal and connective pathways so all children leave school with their brains optimized for future success.
  • We now know that through neuroplasticity, interneuron connections (dendrites, synapses, and myelin coating) continue to be pruned or constructed in response to learning and experiences throughout our lives.
  • The prefrontal cortex

  • the CEO that can manage and control our emotions.
  • undergoing maturation throughout the school years.
  • research reveals other causes of the high stress state in school and suggests interventions to reduce the stress blocking response in the amygdala.
  • ew information cannot pass through the amygdala (part of the limbic system) to enter the frontal lobe if the amygdala is in the state of high metabolism or overactivity provoked by anxiety. It is important for teachers to know that when stress cuts off flow to and from the PFC, behavior is involuntary.
  • it is possible to decrease the stressors of frustration from work perceived as too difficult or boredom from repeated instruction after mastery is achieved
  • the emotion sensitive limbic system is a switching-station that determines which part of the brain will receive input and determine response output.
  • most successful construction of working (short-term) memory takes place when there has been activation of the brain’s related prior knowledge before new information is taught.
  • help students increase working memory efficiency
  • with opportunities to make predictions, receive timely feedback, and reflect on those experiences.
  • Memory is Sustained by Use
  • needs to be activated multiple times and ideally in response to a variety of prompts for neuroplasticity to increase its durability
  • Retention is further promoted when new memories are connected to other stored memories based on commonalities, such as similarities/differences, especially when students use graphic organizers and derive their own connections.
  • Multisensory instruction, practice, and review promote memory storage in multiple regions of the cortex,
  • requires opportunities for students to transfer learning beyond the contexts in which it is learned and practiced

    "Three Core Concepts in Early Development Healthy development in the early years provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities, and successful parenting of the next generation. This three-part video series from the Center and the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child depicts how advances in neuroscience, molecular biology, and genomics now give us a much better understanding of how early experiences are built into our bodies and brains, for better or for worse."

shared by David McGavock on 16 Jan 13 - Cached
  • Ethnography (from Greek ἔθνος ethnos = folk/people and γράφω grapho = to write) is a qualitative research design aimed at exploring cultural phenomena. The resulting field study or a case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group.[1][2][3]
  • communication studies
  • should be reflexive, make a substantial contribution toward the understanding of the social life of humans, have an aesthetic impact on the reader, and express a credible reality
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Data collection methods are meant to capture the "social meanings and ordinary activities" [8] of people (informants) in "naturally occurring settings"
  • from the point of view of the subject (not the participant ethnographer)
  • records all observed behavior and describes all symbol-meaning relations using concepts that avoid casual explanations.
  • Multiple methods of data collection may be employed to facilitate a relationship that allows for a more personal and in-depth portrait of the informants and their community.
  • collect data in such a way that the researcher imposes a minimal amount of their own bias on the data.
  • participant observation, field notes, interviews, and surveys.
  • Interviews are often taped and later transcribed, allowing the interview to proceed unimpaired of note-taking,
  • Secondary research and document analysis are also employed to provide insight into the research topic.
  • Reflexivity refers to the researcher's aim "to explore the ways in which [the] researcher's involvement with a particular study influences, acts upon and informs such research"
  • the ethnographer focuses attention on a community, selecting knowledgeable informants who know the activities of the community well.
  • Ethnography relies greatly on up-close, personal experience. Participation, rather than just observation, is one of the keys to this process

  • Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND) is a video coaching program that aims to strengthen positive interactions between caregivers and children.
  • If an adult’s responses are consistently unreliable, inappropriate, or simply absent, children may experience disruptions to their physical, mental, and emotional health.
  • FIND coaches film families for 10 minutes as they engage in everyday activities, such as playing a game or having a snack. The coaches then edit down the footage to three brief clips that highlight positive instances of parent-child interaction, and share these with the caregiver in weekly structured coaching sessions.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • streamline the process for sending and receiving video files for analysis, resulting in a far more cost-effective solution that maintained participant confidentiality
  • The researchers developed and have employed a protocol for editor certification to ensure the reliability of the edited footage.
