Video 1: The Neurobiology of Preparing Brains and Bodies to Learn in the Classroom

Even highly skilled educators need help to be effective when students are not ready to learn. Stress and anxiety influence daily school life academically and behaviorally, as these impact processing capabilities in the brain, creating dysregulation…

And, dysregulation is contagious, growing from one to two students to entire classrooms. You can see the problem if what we’ve been trained to do is ignore certain behaviors. Neuroscience can help us understand what is happening for educators and students in moments of dysregulation and help us learn to recognize when students are not in brain or body states conducive to learning.

This is the first step in understanding how to prepare brains and bodies to learn by providing clues about what is needed and what support will move students back to a place of learning.
