Synopsis

Professionals with decades of experience working in the field, Larry K. Brendtro, Martin L. Mitchell and Herman J. McCall set out to demonstrate how combining brain research, human values and practice expertise can lead to success with at-risk youth. Much has been written about educating and working with challenging children, but what's often missing from those theories are what youth think and how they feel. According to Dr. Brown of the William Gladden Foundation, "This book places the voice the young person at the center of evidence-based practice, building respectful alliance to surmount challenges." "Deep Brain Learning" uses the voices of youth, case studies and insights gained over decades in the field, to create powerful principles for success with youth, who often are more concerned with looking good than doing good. The roadmaps created in this book show that true, lasting transformations come from person-centered approaches where quality relations are key. You will discover 25 principles that lead to transformational change in challenging children.
