Join Dr. Stuart Shanker live for the #ShankerTalks webinar series, "Reframing Moral Development," on now! This series, ideal for educators, parents, and community leaders, delves into the true foundations of moral development, good citizenship, peace, and empathy, offering fresh insights for 2024/25.
Traditional methods of character development, such as assemblies, posters, curriculum integration, and punitive measures, often fall short. To foster genuine moral behavior, we need a comprehensive, science-based approach. By utilizing neuroscience and Self-Reg principles, this series aims to reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and foster intrinsic motivation for moral behavior.
The answers may surprise you and the path to the answers will require an open mind as we navigate through the history, philosophy, and the neurobiology of morality. This series isn't what you might expect—it focuses on using science and meaningful discussions to understand and support children and youth.
