We've all taken note of how wiggly our early-learning students can be, but what does that have to do with their stress-response? It's been proven that children need even more sensory input than adults to stay calm and regulated. This training will use brain science to explain why. Using a foundational understanding of the mind-body connection, we will also provide some hands-on strategies for incorporating movement into the classroom for healthier, more regulated kids and teachers.

They did what?  I did this!  How I as the adult respond to behaviors leads to a regulated classroom and provides the opportunity to build a culture of belonging.
