Love to learn : the transformative power of care and connection in early education / by Hau, Isabelle C.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction. Planting the seeds of connection -- Part I - The early childhood relational crisis -- The predictive value of early relationships -- Shrinking networks -- The kids aren't all right -- Here but not here: physically present, emotionally absentparents -- Part II - The new science of love and learning -- The scientific revolution -- The evolution of bonding -- Junk tech woes -- Love: the silver bullet in education -- Part III - The path forward: cultivating a future of connections -- Families:new configurations, new horizons -- Friends: play is learning -- Schools: relational hubs -- Communities: thriving together -- Conclusion. Love to learn and system change."The most important aspect of early childhood in general and education in particular is the quality and care of the relationships a child forms. Love to Learn shows how to build and develop these relationships -- and unlock every child's true potential. Early relationships are the key to healthy brain development, resilience, and lifelong flourishing. Children need to be loved, to be valued, to interact, and to be listened to. When children have the space and time to play and explore through nurturing positive relationships, then children learn. But loving relationships are precisely what so many children are missing, and modern factors are making it more difficult for children to build these necessary bonds. Love to Learn offers a vision for a future where learning is relational, and love is a literacy. It is a provocative paradigm shift, from child-centered education to relationship-centered learning. It weaves in stories of perseverance, empathy, creativity, and showcases innovations anchored in the latest neuroscience and technology advance - all driven by the desire to unlock the inherent human potential in any child"--

Learning by heart : an unconventional education / by Wagner, Tony,author.(CARDINAL)380220;
Includes bibliographical references."One of the world's top experts on education delivers an uplifting memoir on his own personal failures and successes as he sought to become a good learner and teacher. Tony Wagner is an eminent education specialist: he's taught at Harvard and MIT; done significant work for the Gates Foundation; and speaks across the country and all over the world. But before he found his success, Tony was kicked out of middle school, expelled from high school, and dropped out of two colleges. Learning by Heart is his powerful account of his years as a student and teacher. After struggling in both roles, he learned a radically different approach to individualized learning--one based on understanding each student's core questions and interests and strengthening his or her intrinsic motivations. From being labeled a failure in high school to experiencing the joy of learning at summer camp, from the years he spent working at odd jobs after dropping out of college, to his early, formative years as a teacher, his story is one that sheds light on several critical issues facing today's educators and parents, and reminds us that trial and error, resilience, and respect for the individual, is at the very heart of all teaching and learning"--
