Ep14 Understanding of the brain helps young people succeed


Listen Later

Thirty years ago, Marcey Aronson and Debbie Leonard started working together at a school helping children with a range of very challenging behavioural issues, mostly stemming from trauma. They developed a ground-breaking social-emotional and academic program – the results of which were remarkable. Attendance increased, test scores rose, and suspension rates fell. Through their research, they concluded how emotions impacted the brain. It led to their BrainZones initiative, an app which empowers teachers with SEL strategies in the classroom.
