Sue believes some schools have too many rules and warns that those drawn up in haste will be difficult to apply. She recommends a simple set of regulations that are easy for staff and pupils to understand and follow.

She visits a Birmingham primary school where the headteacher lets the pupils make the rules. Sue discovers how a good set of rules can help to create peace and harmony, and how a badly drawn-up collection of commands can lead to chaos and confusion.

This programme takes a look at a playground "buddy" system, whereby older pupils are empowered by working and playing with new children at the school. The use of the school council and the benefits of involving children in decision making processes is investigated, as well as a circle time lesson used to help pupils recognise and value their strengths and differences.

 What makes us feel good about our work?

What motivates us to work? Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn't just money. But it's not exactly joy either. It seems that most of us thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely presents two eye-opening experiments that reveal our unexpected and nuanced attitudes toward meaning in our work. (Filmed at TEDxRiodelaPlata.)

How do babies learn so much from so little so quickly? In a fun, experiment-filled talk, cognitive scientist Laura Schulz shows how our young ones make decisions with a surprisingly strong sense of logic, well before they can talk.

The ability to learn from small amounts of data, how we start as a very small children and continuing out all the way to the greatest accomplishments of our culture.
So if we invest in those most powerful learners and their development and babies, and children, and mothers, and fathers, and caregivers, and teachers the way we invest in other elegant and powerful forms of technologies, engineering and design. We will not dreaming of the better future we will be planning.

 Puppies! Now that I’ve got your attention, complexity theory 

# data[].attributes.body
Animal behavior isn't complicated, but it is complex. Nicolas Perony studies how individual animals — be they Scottish Terriers, bats or meerkats — follow simple rules that, collectively, create larger patterns of behavior. And how this complexity born of simplicity can help them adapt to new circumstances, as they arise.

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

(NOTE: Some of the findings presented in this talk have been referenced in an ongoing debate among social scientists about robustness and reproducibility. Read “Corrections & Updates” below for more details as well as Amy Cuddy’s response.) Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that “power posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident -- can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success.

Yoders’ paper describes the goal of developing an instructional unit into a curriculum.  The paper followed the instructional unit on the Blackboard learning environment and researched the positive effects on the integration of the model into the overall curriculum.  The resulting lesson plan included elements of scaffolding, cognitive apprenticeship, active learning, learner self implementation and self guided course progress.
