Overall, the document promotes a multidimensional empowerment process that gives students greater control over their lives.
This powerpoint presentation was put together by Stephanie Jones and presented on June 24 at our Georgia Children's Advocacy Network (GA-CAN!) Forum. This month we looked at Learning Differences and Obstacles: What gets in the way of reading?
Stephanie Jones is an affiliated faculty member at the Center on the Developing Child and the Marie and Max Kargman Associate Professor in Human Development and Urban Education Advancement at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. Her basic developmental research focuses on the longitudinal effects of poverty and exposure to violence on social and emotional development in early childhood and adolescence. In addition, she conducts evaluation research focusing on the developmental impact of school-based interventions targeting children's social-emotional skills and aggressive behavior, as well as their basic academic skills.
Demystifying Social-Emotional Learning: How Measuring SEL Skills Affects Clas...ACT
A growing number of researchers, educators, and policymakers agree that social and emotional learning (SEL, or noncognitive) is essential for a wide range of outcomes in academic and life success. Decades of research have shown that attention to SEL predicts many important outcomes across different ages, countries, and cultures:
- 77% of teachers say that strong SEL skills improve academic performance
- 87% of teachers believe that SEL is a major benefit in preparing students for the workforce
- On average, every $1 invested in SEL-development programs yields $11 in long-term benefits, ranging from reduced juvenile crime, higher lifetime earnings, and better mental and physical health
This webinar highlights important SEL research, policy, and emerging practice that can have very positive effects on K-12 educators and students. Topics include:
- How measuring SEL skills is elevated by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
- How these factors predict academic outcomes, including achievement, retention, and citizenship behaviors; as well as how these expand into indicators of college and career readiness
- How to integrate various SEL frameworks into a comprehensive model, with various crosswalks
- How to best measure these skills, with coverage of new measurement paradigms that represent advances over traditional self-report assessments
- A brief introduction to ACT® Tessera, a noncognitive assessment that uses a holistic approach to measuring college and career readiness with data and tools to intervene on these skills, should issues emerge

Learning
Learning can be defined in many ways, but most psychologists would agree that it is a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience. During the first half of the twentieth century, the school of thought known as behaviorism rose to dominate psychology and sought to explain the learning process.
The three major types of learning described by behavioral psychology are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism was the school of thought in psychology that sought to measure only observable behaviors.
Founded by John B. Watson and outlined in his seminal 1913 paper Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It, the behaviorist standpoint held that psychology was an experimental and objective science and that internal mental processes should not be considered because they could not be directly observed and measured.
Watson's work included the famous Little Albert experiment in which he conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Behaviorism dominated psychology for much of the early twentieth century. While behavioral approaches remain important today, the latter part of the century was marked by the emergence of humanistic psychology, biological psychology, and cognitive psychology.Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a learning process in which an association is made between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally evokes a response.
For example, in Pavlov's classic experiment, the smell of food was the naturally occurring stimulus that was paired with the previously neutral ringing of the bell. Once an association had been made between the two, the sound of the bell alone could lead to a response.
How Classical Conditioning Works
Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a learning process in which the probability of a response occurring is increased or decreased due to reinforcement or punishment. First studied by Edward Thorndike and later by B.F. Skinner, the underlying idea behind operant conditioning is that the consequences of our actions shape voluntary behavior.
Skinner described how reinforcement could lead to increases in behaviors where punishment would result in decreases. He also found that the timing of when reinforcements were delivered influenced how quickly a behavior was learned and how strong the response would be. The timing and rate of reinforcement are known as schedules of reinforcement.
How Operant Conditioning Works
Observational Learning
Observational learning is a process in which learning occurs through observing and imitating others. Albert Bandura's social learning theory suggests that in addition to learning through conditioning, people also learn through observing and imitating the actions of others.As demonstrated in his classic "Bobo Doll" experiments, people will imitate the actions of others without direct reinforcement. Four important elements are essential for effective observational
Carol Dweck & Ross Greene - Framing How Kids Learnkawilson68
The mindset theories of Carole Dweck are presented in addition to the collaborative problem solving model promoted by Ross Greene. Both honour the idea that 'kids are doing the best with what they've got'. These are translated to the classroom and how feedback and assessment and help frame behaviours and help kids want to learn.
Talk given at Youth-Nex, at the University of Virginia. During the last decade, there have been significant advances in social and emotional learning (SEL) research, practice, and policy. This talk will highlight key areas of progress and challenges as we broadly implement school-family-community partnerships to foster positive behavioral, academic, and life outcomes for preschool to high school students. My goal for this presentation is to provide a foundation to foster group discussion about future priorities for the next decade.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Advocacy By Dr. Debra Brosius
1. Empowering Children
through
Awareness and Advocacy:
Knowing our kids and helping kids know
themselves
Debra N. Brosius, Psy.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist, VA & FL
Board Certification Eligible- Neuropsychology
2. Overview
• Empowerment
• Opening clinical example
• Self-awareness in the learning environment
• Predictors of success
• Delay of gratification and transparency
• Harnessing discipline to meet educational
goals
• Developing maturity in our youth
3. Process of Empowerment
• The power to move beyond
resistance at all levels
• To allow for greater
autonomy
• A capacity for greater choice
making
• Enhancing our inherent
mental capacity
• A multidimensional process
allowing people to gain
greater control over their
lives
• Viewing the individual as the
primary agent of change
4. Clinical Example
• N is a 14 yo male adolescent entering 10th
grade at an international school.
• Caucasian expat; native English speaker
• Struggling in new curriculum (science)
• Bright 115 FSIQ (V<P)
• WM 85; PSI 91
• LM scores (A<V)
• Previous hx of: ??
5. Awareness
• To perceive, to know or
to be cognizant of….
• Awareness begins with
self- examination
• Addressing deficits early
lead to better prognosis
and is less costly over
time (National Association of
School Psychologists, 2008).
6. How to?
• Analysis:
– My student…
– Is aware of his/her academic strengths
– Is aware of his/her academic weaknesses
– Is aware of his/her non-academic strengths
– Is aware of his/her non-academic weaknesses
– Is aware of his/her special talents and abilities
– Is aware of his/her feelings, opinions, and values
– Is able to match activities to strengths
– Understands his/her specific learning disability
– Accepts his/her learning disability
– Is able to "compartmentalize”
– Uses strategies to work around the learning disability
– Set goals for the academic year
7. How to?
• My student…
– Is aware of how his/her emotional reactions affect
behavior
– Is aware of situations that cause stress, frustration
and emotional upset
– Has developed strategies for avoiding or reducing
stress
– Is able to recognize the onset of stress
– Knows when outside support/help is needed
8. Success
(Raskin et al., 1999)
• 20-year longitudinal study described
successful LD kids and families (N=41 of 200+):
– Self-awareness
– Proactive
– Perseverance
– Utilizing goal setting techniques
– Utilization of support systems in the environment
– Emotional coping strategies
9. Developing Self-Awareness
• Greater awareness through observation and
constructive feedback
• Formative assessment
• Strengths and weaknesses: helping to tolerate
areas for growth/weaknesses
• Challenges to overcome: Late bloomers
• Building of resiliency- a life skill
• Openness and acceptance by student (and
parents)
10.
11. SOS:
An academic example of formative
assessment
• PROCEDURE:
• Write a statement (one which can be argued from two
points of view) on the board.
• Give students five minutes to agree or disagree with the
statement by listing facts, data, reasons, examples, and
so on that they have learned from the
discussion, reading, or media presentation.
• Collect the S-O-S summary to assess student
understanding.
• Adjust next day’s instruction according to information
gleaned in the formative assessment.
12. Developing Proactive Students
(not aggressive and entitled)
• Encouraging students to become their own
advocate
• Collaboration and ownership by
student, instructor and parent
• Empowering students by giving them
reasonable choices throughout the day
(negotiable vs. non-negotiable).
• Assuming responsibility for actions and
consequences
13. Perseverance
• With adversity comes character building
opportunities
• “I am not a quitter; I can do hard things” and
when things are not working, learning how to
shift strategies (mental flexibility)
• Opportunities for vicarious learning, reframing
and role modeling by mentors
14. Goal-Setting
• Planning, organization and time management
• Successful individuals generally set goals that are
specific but flexible so they can adjust to context
and unforeseen circumstances.
• Prepare, evaluate, readjust
• Realistic
• Attainable
• Careful not to overinflate abilities or weaknesses
15. Executive Skills
Dawson & Guare, 2012
• Many students in middle and high school often
struggle in this area:
– Task initiation
– Working memory
– Organization (time management)
– Goal directed persistence
– Response inhibition
– Sustained attention
– Planning
– Flexibility
– Setting up a management system
17. Use of Effective Support Systems
• Multiple sources and resources:
– Family
– Friends
– Teachers
– Mentors
– Peers
• Gradual movement away from dependent
systems
18. Emotional Coping Strategies
• LD kids often experience:
stress, anxiety, depression
• Components of successful
emotional coping:
– Causes of stress
– Physiological indicators
– Accessibility to resources
(internal and external);
developing distress
tolerance
19. Transparency
• Open and facilitative communication by
parents of children with special needs.
– Spectrum of behavior
– Culturally mediated
– Social stigma & insecurity
• Multidisciplinary approach yields the best
outcome.
20. Delay of Gratification
Mischel, 1972
• Inhibition control: Biology
and a learned skill.
• Marshmallow Study
Revisited: Teaching self-
control in the context of
reliable and predictable
parenting.
• http://www.youtube.com/w
atch?v=JsQMdECFnUQ
21.
22. Delay of Gratification
in Classrooms
• Cultivate something (i.e., plants)
• Simple and variable opportunities for an end
of day award
• Visual savings: jar of marbles
• Tasks that are graded for effort not outcome
• Write down goals and hang them up
• Offer choices with a greater reward for waiting
23. Harnessing Willpower to Meet
Educational Goals
(APA, 2011 & Brooks & Goldstein, 2009)
• Self-discipline is more important than IQ in
predicting academic success.
– Strategies:
• Avoid temptations; small goals in everyday life
• Make a plan
• Consider your motivations
• Positive thinking: “I can do this”
• Fuel the willpower
• Focus on one specific goal at a time
24. Developing Maturity in Our Youth:
Our Challenge (Elmore, 2011)
• IY generation.
• More knowledge but less interpretation.
• Lack of emotional maturity
– Interventions:
• Keep commitments
• Ability to handle compliments and constructive
feedback
• Logical decision making
• Humility and openness to learning
• Ability to put others before themselves
