    Dr. Cantor and Dr. Darling-Hammond discuss the Science of Learning and Development Initiative, emphasizing the need to understand the science behind learning. Key concepts include malleability of the brain, which is influenced by relationships and experiences, and how adversity can lead to uneven development of essential skills. However, with intentional support, children can become engaged learners from various starting points. Integrating social, emotional, and cognitive development creates stronger interconnections in the brain, accelerating learning. The importance of strong relationships in schools is highlighted, as they can reverse negative experiences and foster resilience. Effective classrooms are characterized by student engagement, critical thinking, and the teaching of social and emotional skills alongside academics. The overall goal is to build an educational system that leverages knowledge of brain development to promote compassionate collaboration among learners.

    >>Dr Cantor: The Science of Learning
  • 00:00:01
    and Development Initiative came together to answer a question.
  • 00:00:05
    What science should we pay attention to in order
  • 00:00:09
    to understand how learning happens?
  • 00:00:12
    >>Teacher: Have a good day.
  • 00:00:13
    >>Dr Darling-Hammond: The Science of Learning
  • 00:00:14
    and Development is really an attempt to synthesize a huge body
  • 00:00:19
    of knowledge that's accumulated over many,
  • 00:00:21
    many years from the learning sciences, from psychology and anthropology
  • 00:00:26
    and brain science and put all that together and understand how people,
  • 00:00:32
    in fact, develop and how they learn.
  • 00:00:42
    >>Dr Cantor: There are a few core principles
  • 00:00:44
    that define all of human development.
  • 00:00:47
    The first is malleability, the unique property of the brain to change
  • 00:00:54
    in response to relationships and experiences.
  • 00:00:58
    Neural tissue is the most susceptible to change of any tissue in the human body.
  • 00:01:03
    When children are born, their brains are not fully developed.
  • 00:01:07
    The development of the brain actually continues into young adulthood.
  • 00:01:13
    It is relationships and experiences that drive the development of the brain.
  • 00:01:18
    If children have the experience
  • 00:01:21
    of adversity they will have uneven development of foundational skills,
  • 00:01:26
    like self-regulation, relationship skills that are prerequisites
  • 00:01:32
    for more complex skills like perseverance and self-direction.
  • 00:01:37
    These are the children who are at risk to fall further and further behind.
  • 00:01:41
    But what's most interesting is that a child can become a productive
  • 00:01:46
    and engaged learner from any developmental starting point as long
  • 00:01:51
    as we intentionally build those skills.
  • 00:01:53
    >>Teacher: Turn to your table group and discuss this.
  • 00:01:56
    Come up with a statement.
  • 00:01:57
    >>Dr Cantor: When we're able to combine social, emotional, affective
  • 00:02:03
    and cognitive development together, we are creating many,
  • 00:02:07
    many more interconnections in the developing brain that enable children
  • 00:02:12
    to accelerate learning and development.
  • 00:02:18
    >>Teacher: We got this, guys. We got this!
  • 00:02:21
    >>Dr Cantor: As educators, we have an extraordinary opportunity
  • 00:02:25
    to shape the developing brains of children and to create that kind
  • 00:02:29
    of stimulus that drives the integration of the brain.
  • 00:02:34
    >>Teacher: Life isn't all about going at it alone.
  • 00:02:36
    We're up there to support you
  • 00:02:38
    when you don't necessarily have the skills or tools that you need.
  • 00:02:42
    >>Dr Darling-Hammond: The Science of Learning and Development tells us
  • 00:02:44
    that school needs to organize for strong relationships.
  • 00:02:49
    >>Student: You look pretty, Miss Turner.
  • 00:02:51
    >>Ms. Turner: Thank you, baby.
  • 00:02:52
    >>Dr Darling-Hammond: When a strong relationship exists with a teacher,
  • 00:02:56
    with a mentor, with an advisor, with a school administrator,
  • 00:03:01
    it actually can reverse the effects of adverse experiences.
  • 00:03:07
    Children are amazingly resilient, if they get that opportunity
  • 00:03:12
    for attachment, for comfort and for problem solving with a caring adult.
  • 00:03:23
    >>If we walk into a classroom that's really informed by these principles,
  • 00:03:29
    we'll see kids actively engaged in their learning.
  • 00:03:33
    >>Teacher: What is this graph telling us?
  • 00:03:34
    >>They will be using critical thinking and problem solving.
  • 00:03:38
    They will be putting ideas into action.
  • 00:03:41
    >>Teacher: This one is much longer than the other one you were using.
  • 00:03:43
    >>They will have lots of tools and manipulatives that they can work
  • 00:03:48
    with to help them understand the ideas.
  • 00:03:51
    As they undertake these tasks, they're building both the social
  • 00:03:55
    and emotional foundation and they're also building cognitive abilities.
  • 00:04:01
    >>Teacher: Any volunteers who are open to a priority list?
  • 00:04:05
    >>Student: Okay, we have Alex due tomorrow.
  • 00:04:09
    >>These are all skills that can be taught.
  • 00:04:12
    These are as important as learning your ABCs and your arithmetic facts.
  • 00:04:19
    >>Student: It's 80 so it has to be under.
  • 00:04:20
    >>Teacher: Nice.
  • 00:04:21
    >>Teacher: So it's important to understand
  • 00:04:23
    that even though somebody says something you might disagree with,
  • 00:04:26
    everybody's contributing to this shared dialogue in this safe space.
  • 00:04:36
    >>Dr Cantor: Today, we have a very big task in front of us,
  • 00:04:39
    but it is a very positive and optimistic task.
  • 00:04:42
    >>Teacher: Good morning, friends!
  • 00:04:44
    >>Students: Good morning.
  • 00:04:45
    >>Dr Cantor: Because we now have a knowledge
  • 00:04:47
    of how children become learners and the opportunity
  • 00:04:51
    to create an education system that's informed
  • 00:04:54
    by a knowledge of the developing brain.
  • 00:04:56
    >>Teacher: So that's collaboration and compassion.
  • 00:04:59
    >>Students: Yay!
