The Sarah-Jayne Blakemore TED resource was

Carnegie Hall report titled "May the Songs I Have Written Speak for Me,
An Exploration of the Potential of Music in Juvenile Justice". Connects
to the brain science written in the Carnegie Hall report, and this
semester's Wier text, Teaching Behind Bars. Learn more by clicking on

A quote from the TED Talk:
"So brain research has shown that the adolescent brain undergoes really
quite profound development, and this has implications for education, for
rehabilitation, and intervention. The environment, including teaching,
can and does shape the developing adolescent brain, and yet it's only
relatively recently that we have been routinely educating teenagers in
the West. All four of my grandparents, for example, left school in their
early adolescence. They had no choice. And that's still the case for
many, many teenagers around the world today. Forty percent of teenagers
don't have access to secondary school education. And yet, this is a
period of life where the brain is particularly adaptable and malleable.
It's a fantastic opportunity for learning and creativity.
So what's sometimes seen as the problem with adolescents — heightened
risk-taking, poor impulse control, self-consciousness — shouldn't be
stigmatized. It actually reflects changes in the brain that provide an
excellent opportunity for education and social development."
