The development of character is a big topic we talk about in education, especially in light of all the behavior challenges that seem to be increasing in schools.   

This week on That's SO EDVOLUTIONARY we unpack the role of the environment on human behavior.  And we are joined by some big experts: Simon Sinek and Alfie Kohn.  Okay joined is a "loose" term.  We play some clips of their brilliance to better understand some invisible forces that impact how humans behave and why kids might be struggling so much right now regardless of their "character".  And we have good news: there are some things we can do about it if we are willing to face the part we need to play.
