Collaborative Classroom Management

Video to Accompany A Biological Brain in a Cultural Classroom

Teachers will be engaged and inspired by this new video by best-selling author Bob Sylwester. Through enthusiastic and down-to-earth explanations of complex behaviour, the author shows the benefits to be derived from current brain research. He encourages teachers to explore the collaborative potential in their classrooms, and to harness that potential to create a more effective way to "manage" classroom behaviour. Human realities, including how the student brain works, shape the content.

The video was designed to be used in conjunction with the A Biological Brain in a Cultural Classroom , particularly in group discussions and workshops. The accompanying video guide allows the group facilitator to pair segments of the video with specific chapters of the book to promote deeper understanding of classroom dynamics.
