I'm a big fan of This American Life and I just listened to a recent episode that I think you all might enjoy.
It's about educating children who live in stressful situations- i.e. poverty. It talks about the importance of non-cognitive skills.
There is mention of the 'marshmallow test' and they interview Paul Tough about his new book How Children Succeed.
It's free and incredibly interesting. Here's the link-
