Grant Consortium: Active Ingredients of Prevention Curriculum -- Appendix E: The Self Science Curriculum -- Appendix F: Social and Emotional Learning: Results.Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. Daniel Goleman's fascinating and persuasive book argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that matter immensely in terms of how we do in life. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors add up to a different way of being smart - one he terms "emotional intelligence." Emotional intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness. These are the qualities that mark people who excel in real life: whose intimate relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. These are also the hallmarks of character and self-discipline, of altruism and compassion - basic capacities needed if our society is to thrive.Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth. Goleman's argument is based on a highly original synthesis of current research, including new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality. He shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. And because the emotional lessons a child learns actually sculpt the brain's circuitry, Goleman provides detailed guidance as to how parents and schools can be use this window of opportunity in childhood.

- The new childhood : raising kids to thrive in a connected world / by Shapiro, Jordan,author.(GaAaGPL)1231060;
- Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-301) and index.Introduction: Plato would've been a gamer -- Part one: Self. The new story time ; The new playtime ; The new sandbox -- Part two: Home. The new family ; The new hearth ; The new puberty -- Part three: School. The new school bell ; The new language arts ; The new learning objective -- Part four: Society. The new empathy ; The new media literacy ; The new childhood."A refreshingly positive look at the new digital landscape of childhood and how to navigate it. In The New Childhood, Jordan Shapiro provides a hopeful counterpoint to the fearful hand-wringing that has come to define our narrative around children and technology. Drawing on groundbreaking research in economics, psychology, philosophy, and education, The New Childhood shows how technology is guiding humanity toward a bright future in which our children will be able to create new, better models of global citizenship, connection, and community. Shapiro offers concrete, practical advice on how to parent and educate children effectively in a connected world, and provides tools and techniques for using technology to engage with kids and help them learn and grow. He compares this moment in time to other great technological revolutions in humanity's past and presents entertaining micro-histories of cultural fixtures: the sandbox, finger painting, the family dinner, and more. But most importantly, The New Childhood paints a timely, inspiring and positive picture of today's children, recognizing that they are poised to create a progressive, diverse, meaningful, and hyper-connected world that today's adults can only barely imagine."--Dust jacket.

- Includes bibliographical references and index.Disrupting dementia -- Patient zero -- How does it feel to come back from dementia? -- How to give yourself Alzheimer's : a primer -- Wit's end : from bedside to bench and back -- The God gene and the three types of Alzheimer's disease -- The cognoscopy : where do you stand? -- ReCODE : reversing cognitive decline -- Success and the social network : two people's daily routines -- Putting it all together : you can do it -- This is not easy : workarounds and crutches -- Resistance to change : Machiavelli meets Feynman.Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease. Dale Bredesen, MD, offers hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Arguing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, Bredesen outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. He then shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene.
