stripe Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I heard this on NPR and thought others might find it interesting: November 19, 2009 What Adele Diamond is learning about the brain challenges basic assumptions in modern education. Her work is scientifically illustrating the educational power of things like play, sports, music, memorization and reflection. What nourishes the human spirit, the whole person, it turns out, also hones our minds. http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2009/learning-doing-being/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm looking forward to reading it (or listening to it) online later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadoussac Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thank you so much for the link! I had found the Tools for the Mind book, and was looking for more information about the program and the philosophy. I will look differently at our days this week: trying to incorporate more activities and games that help my kids develop their executive functioning. I think they'll be very happy to play more games, to play act, and to be more creative. Does anyone have any more links on Adele Diamond's work?
