5 Part Video Series: Empowering Educators and Students: Strategies for Navigating the Realities and Thriving in Today’s Schools

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 (choose the bundle option and save) or purchase them individually.

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
  • Creating a Felt Sense of Safety and Belonging in School Starts with the Brain
  • The Classroom is a Nervous System: Working with Daily Regulation and Dysregulation Cycles
  • The Process of Developing Self-regulation: Understanding the Missing Pieces
  • Brain-aligned Strategies for Re-wiring Brains and Re-patterning Nervous Systems

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 a journey of learning and growth!

Praise for Our Work

“I have things that I can take away tomorrow and try right away. I’m excited to try them not for just one student, but for all the students in the class. It’s always incredible working with you. I always feel really validated but also challenged. It feels like I have appropriate next steps.”
Tawni Eckley, Classroom Teacher

“…Judy and the school’s commitment to the social and emotional well-being of the students goes far beyond a single project. In three years of working with Michelle Malvey (Principal, Lincoln Elementary School) and her staff, I have been continuously impressed, not only by this commitment but by the extent to which social and emotional learning is such a central and open part of the culture of the building. I can honestly say I know of no other elementary learning community in the country with a more supportive culture for learning.”
Dr. Tim Kubik, Professional Development Educator and Author of “Unprepared for What we Learned: Six Action Research Exercises that Challenge the Ends we Imagine for Education”
