The pandemic has brought about a timely mindset shift. It is now clearer than ever that young people learn, struggle, and thrive in a variety of settings, in and out of classrooms. The social and emotional learning of children and youth requires a range of strategies—and adults who are prepared and have the resources to provide support in all of the places and spaces where they learn.

Today, Edutopia premieres a collection of compelling new How Learning Happens videos that connect what we know about the science of learning and development with practical applications for educators and providers in all youth-serving settings. While the videos were filmed pre-Covid, the strategies and themes are more important than ever.

Sports can be a powerful way for young people to build self-regulation skills, set goals, and develop confidence—and physical activity develops brain architecture.

The latest videos in the How Learning Happens series were produced by Edutopia with support from the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
