Show Summary:How do we help kids make better decisions, such as in STEM challenges? In this episode of The STEM Space, we're joined by Ramin Mohajer and Alison Stumacher from the Alliance for Decision Education. Ramin, a former corporate attorney turned nonprofit leader, is the Deputy Director of Organizational Development and believes students need cognitive tools—not just rules—to manage choices like screen time. Alison, a longtime educator, now works as the Deputy Director of Education to bring Decision Education into classrooms to help students navigate choices in school, relationships, and life.Enjoy this thought-provoking conversation that may spark new ways to support your students as confident, capable decision-makers.About Ramin Mohajer:Ramin, Deputy Director of Organizational Development at the nonprofit Alliance for Decision Education, believes that decision-making skills are the missing piece in this conversation. Rather than relying solely on school-wide cellphone bans, educators can equip students with the cognitive tools to regulate their own screen use—an essential skill for future scientists, engineers and problem-solvers.About Alison Stumacher: Alison, Deputy Director of Education at the Alliance for Decision Education, is focused on ensuring that all students have access to the skills and tools they need to make better decisions. With over two decades in education across classroom teaching, instructional coaching, and leadership roles, she now works on developing solutions to bring Decision Education into classrooms—helping students build the skills they need to navigate choices in school, relationships, and life.About the Alliance for Decision Education: The Alliance for Decision Education is a national nonprofit dedicated to making decision-making skills a core part of K-12 education. They believe that better decisions lead to better lives and work with educators and experts to equip students with essential cognitive tools, empowering them to navigate challenges both in and out of the classroom. Through innovative curricula and community initiatives, the Alliance is transforming education to foster confident, capable decision-makers for a better society.Links from the Show:Related The STEM Space Podcast Episodes178.

Feeling purposeful is a fundamental driver of self-worth and a powerful antidote to despair at any age. To increase a sense of purpose, children and adults can leverage strength-based interventions to significantly reshape learning behaviors in a variety of situations. And, considering the pervasive mental health challenges in the United States today, social-emotional learning (SEL) emerges as a critical tool for fostering emotional intelligence, resilience, and positive relationships.For compelling examples of how SEL impacts behaviors, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with school psychologist, therapist, and author Dr. Steven Baron. Dr. Baron offers a glimpse into the concept of social-emotional learning based on individual strengths. In his book, Teaching with a Strength-Based Approach: How to Motivate Students and Build Relationships, Steven provides examples of how empowering children to take control of their behavior can maximize learning, engagement, and social interactions.WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

This week Ang is joined by Steven Baron, published author, public speaker and a child psychologist who now works in a private practice after 30 years working in primary and secondary schools. Steven has a unique perspective and approach to child psychology, an approach that has been forged through years of seeing too many psychologists focusing on the negatives. In this interview with Ang, Steven discusses his methods, his experiences and his successes and how focusing on the good can change your child's life. KEY TAKEAWAYS After years of working in Schools with children, Steven became tired of the negative approach around child psychology and how the emphasis seemed to always be on finding out what “was wrong with the child.” He explains to Ang how he had a lightbulb moment that shifted his career after being commissioned to write a book. Steven breaks down his new approach to child psychology, focusing on ‘what’s going well’, and shares with Ang the positive effects this has on the children he works with A trait that is common in many parents that have just experienced divorce is to try and compartmentalise their emotions and not show them in front of their children. Steven discusses how this is a big mistake and offers ideas of healthier ways to approach dealing with your emotions. Ang and Steven discuss the importance of the teacher, parent, child triangle and how, ultimately, the child's relationship with their teachers as a role model is infinitely more important than the one of educator/student. BEST MOMENTS “Focusing on what is going right instead of what's going wrong can fundamentally change a child's mindset.” “It’s important to educate children about emotions and let them know that it’s ok to experience them.” “A child won’t remember what you taught them, they’ll remember how you made them feel.” EPISODE LINKS Guest Links https://www.drstevenbaron.com/ https://www.routledge.com/Teaching-with-a-Strength-Based-Approach-How-to-Motivate-Students-and-Build/Baron/p/book/9781032432571 Facebook: Dr Steven Baron / LinkedIn: Dr Steven Baron / Twitter @drstevenbaron1 Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too! https://talkingparents.com/dirhm To Connect With Me: htts://linktr.ee/angaab6 www.linkedin.com/in/angallanburns To receive a FREE copy of my 7 Day Journey to Healing After Divorce, Join my Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/reclaimherpower If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

This episode follows on from the previous episode where we unpacked the key insights into classroom engagement by a recent study conducted by Lego Education.In this episode I explore the strategies that will motivate students to take ownership for their own learning, which of course has the ripple effect of better overall engagement not just for our students but for ourselves too.Have you noticed that students have become passive recipients of knowledge? They sit there waiting for us to pour knowledge and information into them, and then they don't do anything with that knowledge. They're unable to transfer their learning into other areas.One way that we can ensure that students transfer knowledge, is to better engage them.And the way to better engage students is firstly to make sure that what we are teaching them is relevant to their lives. And when learning is relevant, students are better positioned to take ownership for their learning.For all the links mentioned please go to the episode website.To sign up to Get Curious, the weekly newsletter with actionable strategies for keeping children and adults curious, go here.☕️ You can help me to keep going with the podcast by buying me a coffee

What is it that motivates students to study? A few lucky people may genuinely enjoy the process of memorising facts and preparing for exams, but this is probably rare. For most people studying requires effort and despite the high stakes, the reward of good exam results (or fear of bad ones) in the distant future is not enough of a motivation when there are far more exciting and immediately rewarding things to do instead. So this week we consider how we can motivate students to engage in independent study by bringing in short term, tangible rewards.

Encouraging students to focus on the INPUT can be challenging. For many students, it's all about hitting the right number at the end of the grading period. What it takes to get there, perhaps, is overlooked in favor of a shortcut.

181 - How Not to Motivate Students
Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #119. Hello and Welcome back! I’m Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with learning the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports and the workplace, for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast for some time, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with putting our brain health first. As I am working closely with neuroscience researcher, Mark Robert Waldman, and learning new ideas that could help improve results for students in our classrooms, or those in the corporate world, I will share with you what I am learning, with the hopes you can implement the new idea in your life, for immediate, improved results. This week’s brain fact goes right along with the past few episodes where we have been talking about the profound impact that exercise has on our cognitive abilities and mental health. Dr. Daniel Amen, (who we’ve talked a lot about on past episodes) and Dr. John J Ratey would both agree that it’s “simply one of the best treatments we have for most psychiatric problems.”[i] Instead of just one brain fact about the importance of exercise on our brain, I have a few-- to really hit the importance of this brain fact home. Here are Your Brain Facts for This Week: Did You Know That: “Physical activity is crucial to the way we think and feel.” (John J Ratey, MD). “Children who exercise regularly are likely to do the same as an adult.” (Spark, Page 12) “Statistics show that about half of those who start out with a new exercise routine drop out within six months to a year” (Spark, Page 260) probably because they jump in at a high intensity, it’s too much, and they give up. If you have heard our past 2 episodes, you will know that Dr. Ratey wrote the book Spark on this topic after he saw Naperville’s scores on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) where they scored #1 in science and #6 in math, in the world, proving that there was something unique that they had discovered with the correlation of exercise and academic achievement. Naperville provided a powerful case study that “aerobic activity can transform not only the body, but also the mind.” (Spark, Page 19) Dr. Daniel Amen often talks about the importance of exercise, or walking 5 days a week, like you are late (he would say) for your brain health. He mentions that “blood vessels age, not your brain cells”[ii] and the best way to keep blood vessels healthy so blood flows to your brain, is with moderate exercise. So for such an important brain fact, that two of the most famous brain experts I know, have focused most of their careers teaching the world about, why isn’t everyone taking advantage of this profound impact of exercise on the brain—for our students in our classrooms and for everyone in the workplace looking for increased productivity. It All Begins With Understanding How Our Brain Works Most us have not had the crash course in this topic. Since we know that our brain is involved in everything that we are and everything that we do, it’s important that we understand how it works, especially when it comes to making habits (like implementing a new exercise program) stick. I was speaking with Victoria Sambursky this week (she is working closely with Dr. Ratey with her company Edominance)[iii] with assessments that unlock personality and behavior, and she was asking me about the best way to break a habit. I shared with her what I cover on episode #35 on “Using Your Brain to Break Bad Habits”[iv] since what we must do to break a habit is the exact opposite of what we must do when forming our new habit, like our new exercise routine that we want to start. I Shared with Her—Here’s How We Break Habits and Here’s How We Form New Ones Learning creates a synaptic connection when you are thinking, feeling, or actually doing something new. New neural pathways are formed. I’m sure you have seen the YouTube videos that show how the pathways look in the brain, like a highway.[v] Each time you think that same thought, or do that same action, you strengthen that neural pathway. Each time you do that new exercise routine, that pathway strengthens. This is how you create a new habit. Breaking a habit is just the opposite; by avoiding certain thoughts, feelings or actions, your impulses or neural connections become weaker and weaker. Just as knowledge and skills are constructed in our brain with focus, they also diminish (or prune away) without the focused attention. As we learn, our dendrites actually grow as they make new synaptic connections. Learning something new happens when we forge these new connections. Think About it This Way: “Neurons that fire together, wire together” and “neurons that are out of sync, fail to link.” If we want to form a new habit, we must practice the new skill over and over again, (wiring and strengthening the pathway) and breaking a habit, means don’t practice the skill—don’t even think about it. It’s easy to see now that “we are what we think about” or “we create our reality” as we do reinforce our neural pathways with the attention to the habits or goals that we want. We even reinforce what we don’t want when we are thinking” I don’t want that piece of pie” or” I don’t want this project to fail” or “I don’t want to lose that game” and so on. The neural pathways for “I don’t want this or that” are being formed! Our brain only knows what we tell it, so we must be very careful with our thoughts, feelings, and actions, as they will reinforce those neural pathways in our brain. In Learning Something New: The Key Ingredient is Motivation Since the brain only hold information it finds to be useful, and discards what is doesn’t need, we have to be sure that when we want to learn something new (for ourselves or for others) that we make the learning relevant, and interesting. The brain will be motivated to learn when it’s exposed to something new, and unfamiliar. How to Motivate Students to Learn and Move with Brain Health in Mind I’m always looking for new ideas to help students learn when searching through social media, and this week I saw something that caught my attention. If you are looking for tools, or ideas on how to motivate your students in the classroom, or kids at home if you are homeschooling, I highly suggest taking a look at the FutureSmart Program[vi] where MassMutual’s Foundation has partnered with the NHL to provide engaging financial education along with movement. The videos are motivating, interesting, and we know they are building the brains of our next generation. If we can encourage our children and students to move, in any possible way, we will be stimulating their thinking skills needed for academic performance.[vii] A new study suggests that “when academic classes include physical activity, like squats, or running in place, students do better on tests.”[viii] Take a look at this resource for some new ideas that go beyond just movement. They also have financial education and skills to help prepare our next generation to be future-ready. What Does the Latest Neuroscience Research Reveal About Exercise and Our Brain? We know that exercise increases levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine—important neurotransmitters that monitor the flow of our thoughts and emotions. You’ve probably heard of serotonin, and maybe you know low levels of it is associated with depression, but even many people don’t know the rest. “They don’t know that toxic levels of stress erode the connections between the billions of nerve cells in the brain or that chronic depression shrinks certain areas of the brain. And they don’t know that, conversely, exercise unleashes a cascade of neurochemicals and growth factors that can reverse this process, physically bolstering the brain’s infrastructure. In fact, the brain responds like muscles do, growing with use, withering with inactivity. The neurons in the brain connect to one another through “leaves” on treelike branches, and exercise causes those branches to grow and bloom with new buds, enhancing brain function at a fundamental level.” John J Ratey We are just starting to learn about the impact on our brain cells with exercise at the gene level and as technology in neuroscience improves, there will be new ways to measure the changes that are happening in the brain. I just learned from Dr. Andrew Newburg, who is a Professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences and the Director of Research at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, from episode #88,[ix] that the changes in brain scan technology make his job very exciting. Like Dr. Ratey mentioned we can see the changes in the brain with exercise, Dr. Newburg says that someone could start a mediation practice today, (or an exercise program) and wonder if they can measure the changes in the brain, and Dr. Newburg would say they can. With time, the frontal lobes of meditators become thicker, and he can see the changes in the brain with Blood/Oxygen Imaging that follows the brain through meditation. With time, and new technology, it will be very clear that exercise and meditation changes the structure and function of the brain. I’m looking forward to learning what else they discover here. Once We Know How to Create This Heightened State of Well-Being, Where Else Can We Use It? In our podcast episode #27 with Friederike Fabritius, we covered the DNA of success or peak performance[x] which is that brain state where we lose the presence of time and are the most productive. If we can create this heightened state of well-being for our students through exercise, we could also create this environment in our workplaces. Friederike mentioned the importance of having fun with your work, (or with your workouts) releasing the neurotransmitter dopamine, having just enough fear, fun or a challenge to release the neurotransmitter noradrenaline and that with these two factors, focus will occur, and the neurotransmitter acetyl choline will be released to help us to achieve the “flow” that occurs at this heightened level of productivity. These three neurotransmitters must be in place for peak performance to occur and when we hit this level of performance, it’s important that we are able to manage our distractions so that we can stay here for as long as possible for those higher levels of productivity. To Review Our Brain Facts, Let’s See if We Can Gain Some New Insight with Our Brain in Mind “Physical activity is crucial to the way we think and feel.” (John J Ratey, MD). An understanding of our brain helps us to see why. Rigorous activity helps to put the brain in the right environment for learning to take place. “Children who exercise regularly are likely to do the same as an adult.” (Spark, Page 12) Since they have built the neural pathways in their brain that they reinforce over and over again. The only way they would not keep the same habit as an adult, is if they stopped exercising. And even with this example, we do have incredible muscle memory, for anyone who has ever had to stop their exercise program for a certain amount of time. Your muscles will remember, and your neural pathways will keep strengthening even with your time away. “Statistics show that about half of those who start out with a new exercise routine drop out within six months to a year” (Spark, Page 260) probably because they jump in at a high intensity, it’s too much, and they give up. That’s because most people start off fast and lose motivation when it becomes difficult. Pace yourself, remember that everyone is different, and don’t compare your workout or results to anyone else’s. Find something that you enjoy, and you will be motivated, creating the neurotransmitters you will need to reach those peak performance levels. I hope you’ve enjoyed these Brain Facts, preparing us for our interview with next week with Paul Zientarski, the PE Teacher from Naperville, who will help us to see exactly what was involved with their PE program to reveal such outstanding results.

Description Worried about catching the Novel Corona Virus? Well, Christopher Walkin’s got a message for you. “Guess what? I got a feva’, and the only prescription is more cowbell.” Walkin’s character knew instinctively how to apply what the academic community is still struggling to implement: a Growth Mindset. Walkin knew that to make a good song great takes many iterations; that we must not accept just good enough as we work our way to greatness. We, too, embrace learning as an iterative process as we ask, can we really be Growth Mindset oriented if we simply change what we say without also changing what we do? Recently released research reveals radical rethinking results in rapid remediation of Fixed Mindset practices.
