I am not a scientist. I'm a regular teacher who does regular teacher-y things. Like taking classes to learn to be a better teacher, and reading articles, books and blogs.
The only thing that I am an expert on is what works in my own classroom. That's it. I've spent years figuring this out. No one knows this better than I do. This is because:
I have made it my goal to try to teach
the way kids learn.
This means taking the time to figure our how their brains work! So here is my list of 11 Rules for Engaging Students' Brains. I'm printing it out and keeping it close while I teach, because I need constant reminding!
(That's the way MY brain works.)
I hope it can help you, as well.

Growth Mindset + Cultures of Learning and Visible Thinking Strategies (Harvard's Project Zero), The PYP Learner Profile and Attitudes as well as parent education on all the above is an amazing combination for the classroom.
