Human connection at the core of preparing students to master the new basics in K-12 education

In his classic study on methods of group instruction and student tutoring, Benjamin Bloom demonstrated that building highly favorable conditions into the environments where children grow and learn will put many children on the path to realizing their fullest potential.

In his 1984 study, the educational psychologist found that through individual tutoring, students performing at the 50th percentile could improve by two standard deviations. But here鈥檚 the thing: The active ingredient generating the outcomes was not the content alone. It was the content and the connection, the nature of the relationship to the tutor.

In the decades since publication of 鈥淭he 2 Sigma Problem,鈥� Bloom鈥檚 research on the dynamic relationship between human connection and learning has been bolstered by numerous neurobiological findings: Li and Julian (2012), Cozolino (2013), Immordino-Yang and Gotlieb (2017) and Li and Gow (2020). Attunement, belief and belonging are not, the research shows, 鈥渘ice to haves.鈥� They are fire starters.
