En este trabajo, pretendo ahondar en el conocimiento de los mecanismos neuropsicológicos que hacen al aprendizaje del contenido escolarizado, y las dificultades que se derivan de las alteraciones o disfunciones de esos mecanismos; procurando aportar una información que, no por básica, deje de tener rigor científico como se verá más adelante, la incidencia de estos trastornos en nuestra población escolar no es mínima, y la multicausalidad determinante de éstos no sólo tiene un basamento biológico, sino que se superpone con el condicionante social y familiar.

Educators all over the country are waking to a collective realization: The hope and compassion they have for their students is not enough to counteract the inequitable policies and practices of the school system.

There are many moments of joy in our relationships with our children: but what about those times we’re faced with defiance, disruption and seemingly endless cycles of negativity? From everyday frustrations to more extreme manifestations, these behaviours may present differently but they are all rooted in one common thread: a need for emotional safety.

The Unteachables examines the overrepresentation of Black students in special education over the course of the twentieth century. As African American children integrated predominantly white schools, many were disproportionately labeled educable mentally retarded (EMR), learning disabled (LD), and emotionally behavioral disordered (EBD).

This idea book outlines a paradigm for how to view and work with students with diagnoses formed through experience, research, and creativity in a way that supports an ability-forward mindset.
