First sentence: Since recent brain research indicates that "a person's physical and emotional well-being are closely linked to the ability to think and to learn effectively," educators need to create an "atmosphere of trust and intellectual safety" (Southwest Educational Development Laboratory, 1997) in which student's ideas, opinions, and feelings are valued and respected.
