“Empowering Educators and Students: Strategies for Navigating the Realities and Thriving in Today’s Schools,” is a 5-part video series. You can watch them all or pick and choose among them. Should you want to watch the entire series, we recommend viewing them in this order:
- The Neurobiology of Preparing Brains and Bodies to Learn in the Classroom (1:34)
- Creating a Felt Sense of Safety and Belonging in School Starts with the Brain (1:50)
- The Classroom is a Nervous System: Working with Daily Regulation and Dysregulation Cycles (1:28)
- The Process of Developing Self-regulation: Understanding the Missing Pieces (1:18)
- Brain-aligned Strategies for Re-wiring Brains and Re-patterning Nervous Systems (1:07)
The first two provide a foundation for understanding the science of behavior from a brain and body perspective, including how to apply this knowledge in our work with students, so we are preparing their brains to learn.
The third and fourth dive into a deep understanding of the dynamics involved in regulation and dysregulation as we explore how to support students in developing skills and capacities to regulate independently.
The final one provides specific strategies that correspond to different states of arousal, and how to use a brain and body perspective to support students in getting back to places of learning.
Each video has enough foundational information to be viewed independently.
Thank you for joining us on the journey of growth and learning!
Happy Learning,

Welcome to the video course, “The Process of Developing Self-regulation – Understanding the Missing Pieces.”
It can be frustrating when we teach students certain skills, and they don’t seem to use them. This is especially true when it comes to behavior, and it’s easy to assume that students are intentionally being defiant. However, what if we told you that much of the social-emotional learning programming and teaching lacks important components? These missing pieces make it difficult for students to use strategies independently.
The good news is that we can incorporate these vital elements by making only small shifts to daily routines. Learn a framework for using whole-brain approaches that includes teaching specific skills and developing capacities that result in students being able to determine and apply strategies that work for them. We can provide students with the tools they need to succeed both academically and socially, by scaffolding the development of the skills they need to take responsibility for their own behaviors.
The Process of Developing Self-regulation – Understanding the Missing Pieces Learning Objectives:
- Identify the missing components in many social-emotional learning programs.
- Learn how to scaffold self-regulation skills in students, helping them apply strategies independently.
- Discover small shifts you can make in daily routines to support long-term behavior change.
