WHEN THE BUTT GOES NUMB, THE BRAIN GOES DUMB : The Power of Focused Attention Practices and Brain Intervals "
Wednesday April 9, 2025 12:45pm - 2:00pm CDT
Beggs Ballroom
So often we assume that the body and brain are two separate things.  We teach the brain but ignore the body.  
We know that your brain craves routine, consistency, and predictability but it also craves novelty.
We have seen an upswing in dysregulation in our classrooms and when we don’t take the time to sit beside our students in those moments and provide opportunities for coregulation and teach them some responsive, proactive strategies to begin to notice the onset of dysregulation we are putting them at a disadvantage.
I will be focusing on the applied educational neuroscience framework, nervous system development, and lots of strategies that can be incorporated into your classroom or practice with very little time - no money and will have tremendous impact on focus, attention, restoring some calm, and continue to support building resilience within our students and ourselves.
Discipline begins with us and these responsive strategies can be built into our daily routines that are going to make a real difference!
