Where Science Meets Connection
Building Schools That Thrive
The Synergetic Education™ Institute exists to transform education through empowering educators and students. Combining the latest educational, mental health, and leadership frameworks, with neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and interpersonal neurobiology to support well-being and belonging. The Synergetic Education Institute teaches practical, daily strategies that will transform your pedagogy and your environment, all without adding to your workload.
We reduce educator workload by focusing on:
- Relationally attuned strategies to navigate complex student–adult dynamics with clarity and compassion
- Supportive environments where students and staff feel seen, valued, and emotionally safe
- Scaffolded pathways to self-regulation, grounded in neuroscience and tailored to everyday classroom realities
When connection and regulation are woven into the fabric of a school’s design, educators can move beyond behavior management—toward deeper engagement, authentic learning, and lasting growth.
What Options Exist for Working with SEI?
The Synergetic Education Institute supports the whole learning community. We integrate services by inviting the inclusion of all stakeholders: students, parents, educators, mental health professionals, and school and district leadership.
- Training for individual educators or schools, to district or state-wide integrated application.
- One-time workshops to comprehensive programming that can be tailored to specific groups or sites.
- Consulting and coaching support for indiviuals, teams, and staff.
- Professional development services in the areas of multi-tiered system of supports, school leadership, and systemized implementation.
Take a Peek Into Some Content
What You Will Learn
The neurobiology of behavior linked to practical strategies – Apply brain-based strategies that translate research into real-world impact.
The science of relational challenges with students and adults – Decode patterns behind tensions and learn how to shift from conflict to connection.
What’s needed for developing self-regulation skills intentionally and explicitly – Identifying the missing pieces because as regulation becomes more accessible the focus can return to meaningful learning.
How to re-claim your inspiration and love for teaching – Use neuroscience to understand and avoid burn-out so you balance challenge and support.
Approaches for authentically connecting with yourself and students – Build systems that foster emotional safety and authentic connection—for every student and every adult.
What Students Will Gain
Believing they can manage the perceived challenges in their lives – Rewiring brains and repatterning nervous systems leads to shifting perceptions.
A felt sense of safety and belonging – Through the creatation of environments where safety and belonging aren’t just goals—they’re felt experiences.
Skills for meeting their regulatory needs without disrupting learning – Supporting students’ awareness of their experience and ways to move through activation.
Strategies for expressing their needs that support growth – Utilizing frameworks for communicating about arousal states.
Ways to adapt their behaviors to meet the current environment without masking – Teaching and modeling alternatives that support students in finding strategies that work for them.
Our Philosophy & Mission
The Synergetic Education™ Institute exists to transform education through empowering educators and students. Combining the latest educational, mental health, and leadership frameworks, with neuroscience, nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, and social-emotional practices, the Synergetic Education Institute teaches practical, daily strategies that will transform your pedagogy and your environment. As educators question and practice, the Synergetic Education Institute supports authentic expression and connection. The Synergetic Education Institute promotes self-reflection, a key ingredient in re-wiring neural networks and re-patterning nervous systems. Examining individual, team, and systemic level functioning, the Synergetic Education Institute allows you to explore transformation internally and externally.
