Science Concepts

Nature vs. Nurture

The ongoing, dynamic interaction between biology and environment drives all development.

As Fischer and Bidell (2006) explained, “There is no separation of nature and nurture, biology and environment, or brain and behavior, but only a collaborative coordination between them” (p. 383).

Although our DNA is composed of over 25,000 genes, fewer than 10% are ever expressed. Cues from our social and physical world cue a chemical process in our bodies, which determines which genes are expressed, along with how and when. This biological process, called epigenetic adaptation, highlights how our genes and experiences act together to determine how our brains and bodies are shaped.

Academic vs. Social & Emotional

Learning isn't "academic" OR "social and emotional" - students become increasingly capable of complex skills.

The brain’s architecture is made up of trillions of connections, forming complex and integrated structures as experiences create, strengthen, and reorganize connections and eliminate unused pathways.

Average vs. Pathways

Each student is on their own unique
developmental trajectory.

There is no such thing as an “average” student. Today, we know that the average rarely represents the individual and that each child develops via pathways that are non-linear and jagged.

Skills develop in fits and starts based on students experiences and social and cultural context, which requires flexible scaffolding and supports to meet students where they are at.

Active vs. Passive

Students are active agents in their own learning and development.

The brain’s architecture is made up of trillions of connections, forming complex and integrated structures as experiences:

  • create
  • strengthen
  • reorganize
