All classroom interactions have “invisible” neurobiological, emotional, and social aspects—the emotional histories of students, the teacher’s own background and biography. In this book, Kirke Olson takes lessons from brain science, mindfulness, and positive psychology to help teachers understand the full range of their students’ school experiences. Using its classroom-ready resources, teachers, administrators, parents, and policy makers can make the invisible visible, turning human investment in their students into the best possible learning outcomes.

This book is all about something that is often lost in the pressure to get through mile-long lists of standards. It is about building relationships and attending to the whole child, not just academics. It made me really think and reflect on how I approach relationship building in my classroom and I already have a bunch of ideas of how to improve.

This book made me feel encouraged about the positive impact teachers can have in their students lives. I found the neuroscience portions especially interesting and reflected on relationships I have had with students in the past. This book is useful for any teacher, but especially for those who teach children with many barriers to learning.
