It is time we have these discussions with our schools and districts as we integrate the applied educational neuroscience into SEL into our schools, recovery programs, community, and all discipline protocols! I have created six templates from what I have shared this week for all of you to share with your districts… we need to focus on emotional and mental readiness and then the learning gaps will close and we will be college and career ready! Please share widely! This is trauma responsive that is actionable!
There has been a strong recognition of "glimmers" and what those are as we navigate our nervous system's health. Therapist Deb Dana shares these so well! They are the moments, minutes of awareness when people, experiences, places, noticings, and anything feels steadying to our nervous systems. These are often challenging to recognize because of the negative brain bias we all embody! We naturally worry, pay attention to anything that might impact our survival! A year ago , we created a glimmer check-in for our staff and students to work through together! When we are aware and intentional about noticing glimmers, they accumulate! You can find these on my website under the New Additions for the 180 Days of Educational Neuroscience! #education#educators#appliededucationalneuroscience#schools#parents#behaviors#discipline...
