Additional Information

As a former science teacher and now an educational scientist, I am particularly impressed by the robust research that supports this framework. I'm excited to share this innovative approach with the schools I work with.”
“This book is a game changer for the field of education. It takes the complexity of our educational system and simplifies it into meaningful and digestible bites that any educator can use to help create meaningful change. Focusing on durable skills, recognizing and validating the strengths of those we serve, and applying knowledge to bring relevance to learning are the keys for success of any educational organization. We finally have a guide that allows leaders to truly transform our educational system and change the world!”
“The actionable models, tips, and tricks outlined in Humanized Education are just what we need to push forward the brain-positive economic transformation, or brain economy. As evidenced by the child and youth mental health pandemic and poor education outcomes, our students’ “brain capital” is in the red and we need them in the black. We need to move toward resilience, strengths, and mastery to meet the advanced skill-based labor markets and economies of the future. There is no other option. Every global leader and every individual has a role to play in promoting brain capital and spurring the continued growth of the global brain economy. This book allows a playbook to move toward a flourishing future.”
