Maximizing student capacity and restoring motivation-the key to school success Brain research has the power to revolutionize education, but it can be difficult for educators to implement innovative strategies without the proper knowledge or resources. The Education Revolution bridges the gap between neuroscience, psychology, and educational practice. It delivers what educators need: concrete applications of the most current and relevant research that they can use in their classrooms and schools. Readers will find • Teaching strategies based on the latest brain research, designed to advance academic performance • Scientifically sound, solution-focused practices to address the root of negative behaviors • Approaches to counteract the negative impact of technology on the brain • Concrete methods to improve school climate • Model lessons for teachers that demonstrate how to implement the given strategies Written by Horacio Sanchez, a leading authority on child and adolescent behavior and resiliency, this book shows educators how they can use our growing understanding of brain science to restore students' desire to learn; improve achievement, behavior and school climate; and revolutionize education. "Sanchez combines expertise in education, psychology, and neuroscience with extensive teaching experience and extraordinary insight into what makes us all behave the way we do." Dr. David L. Katz, President, American College of Lifestyle Medicine Director, Yale University Prevention Research Center "The Education Revolution focuses on the whole child through both academic and social aspects of learning. I feel confident that I can trust this research and use these ideas in my teaching." Kendra Hanzlik, Instructional Coach Prairie Hill Elementary School, College Community School District.

"Teaching is the most important career. It is in the classroom that the youth of today can be provided with the tools to become a positive part of their society. Whether they are successful or not will determine the fate of our civilization. Regrettably neither social nor economic indicators' reflect the importance of the role of the educator. Teacher training rarely prepares the individual for their role.The goal of this manual is to begin correcting the negative situations, in any teaching scenario, by contacting the Educational Departments at colleges and universities as well as administrators (state, county, city, town level) Having a "how to" manual for these different venues would be desirable for teacher preparation. It is structured for each individual to read and customize to the needs of the individual teacher and students" --

This book constitutes a holistic study of how and why late starters surpass early starters in comparable instructional settings. Combining advanced quantitative methods with individual-level qualitative data, it examines the role of age of onset in the context of the Swiss multilingual educational system and focuses on performance at the beginning and end of secondary school, thereby offering a long-term view of the teenage experience of foreign language learning. The study scrutinised factors that seem to prevent young starters from profiting from their extended learning period and investigated the mechanisms that enable late beginners to catch up with early beginners relatively quickly. Taking account of contextual factors, individual socio-affective factors and instructional factors within a single longitudinal study, the book makes a convincing case that age of onset is not only of minimal relevance for many aspects of instructed language acquisition, but that in this context, for a number of reasons, a later onset can be beneficial.
