Synergetic Education Framework: Core Concepts
Understanding and Responding to Classroom Challenges
6-Part Video Series | 8.5 Hours | Self-Paced
Overview
This series is for all educators responding to student behavior that can be difficult to interpret and address within today’s classrooms. This includes teachers, paraprofessionals, behavioral specialists, administrators, and school-based mental health professionals. When behavior escalates, dysregulation spreads, and strategies that once worked no longer seem effective, it can feel difficult to teach or support students with confidence.
Introducing core concepts from the Synergetic Education Framework it provided a practical, classroom-centered approach for understanding what is happening beneath student behavior and how to respond in ways that support regulation and learning.
Rather than offering surface-level behavior management techniques, this series provides the core elements of our coherent framework that strengthens instructional practice and school-based clinical support—equipping professionals to work more effectively within today’s classrooms.
Grounded in applied neurobiology and a nervous system lens participants move from understanding the brain states that impact safety and learning, to recognizing regulation dynamics across a classroom, to supporting the development of self-regulation and matching strategies to students’ arousal states in real time.
How the Series Progresses
Built upon the fundamental elements of our framework, this series of six videos moves through a progression from understanding behavior through a nervous system lens to applying strategies and designing environments that support regulation and learning.
UNDERSTANDING THE BRAIN AND SAFETY
- Video 1: The Neurobiology of Preparing Brains and Bodies to Learn in the Classroom
Learn how stress, anxiety, and brain states impact behavior and readiness to learn. - Video 2: Creating a Felt Sense of Safety and Belonging in School Starts with the Brain
Explore how safety and threat perception shape student engagement, behavior, learning, and classroom culture.
REGULATION IN THE CLASSROOM
- Video 3: The Classroom Is a Nervous System: Working with Daily Regulation and Dysregulation Cycles
Recognize patterns of activation and dysregulation across individuals and entire classrooms, and identify shifts in state as they occur.
DEVELOPING SELF-REGULATION
- Video 4: The Process of Developing Self-Regulation: Understanding the Missing Pieces
Examine how self-regulation develops and why students may struggle to independently use learned strategies.
MATCHING STRATEGIES TO STATE
- Video 5: Brain-Aligned Strategies for Re-Wiring Brains and Re-Patterning Nervous Systems
Apply state-matched strategies that support regulation, expand capacity, and return students to learning.
DEVELOPING REGULATION-SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS
- Video 6: Creating Environments with All Learners in Mind: Ensuring No Student Is an Afterthought
Explore how classroom spaces, routines, and relationships can be intentionally designed to support regulation, reduce power struggles, and promote collective growth across diverse learners.
How This Series Fits Within SEI Programming
The Video Series introduces the core concepts of the framework used throughout SEI programming.
Educators often begin here to build foundational understanding before continuing into Evolution of a Synergetic Educator (ESE) for deeper integration.
The series is also included as part of the Behavioral Health Program (BHP) for Colorado educators completing behavioral health relicensure requirements.
Who This Series Is For
This series designed for:
• Educators navigating escalating classroom behavior
• School-based mental health professionals
• Educational leaders seeking a coherent framework grounded in neuroscience

If you hold a Colorado Educational license, before you purchase the video series CLICK HERE for the Colorado Relicensure Page, and consider the Behavioral Health Program (BHP) as an alternative. BHP meets all new Colorado behavioral health relicensure requirements, the video series alone does not fully meet this requirement.
