The Brain & Student Behavior
Learning & Engagement: It's Time to Make a Plan!
There has never been a more significant time in the history of education to begin applying the research of neuroscience into our educational practices, assessments, and relationships. We are feeling creatures who think and emotional connection drives all that we employ within our schools, classrooms and communities. In this 4-day professional development opportunity, we will explore the brain, research beneath brain development for educators, emotional regulation, the critical executive function skills of attention and engagement and relationships, and tangible research based strategies that prime the brain for positive emotion, behavior and deepened learning!
- Educators will come away with a deep understanding of child and adolescent brain development as it relates to learning and the emotional and social health of all students.
- Thoroughly understand how stress, adversity, and trauma in the brain derail learning, compromise brain health and development, and impede motivation and engagement.
- Come away with researched brain-aligned strategies that regulate emotions and behavior, engage the most difficult students, and enhance cognition through long-term memory.
Over the course of a year, devise, implement & revise a strategic plan for our students, parents...and us! The Southern Indiana Education Center is excited to offer this opportunity led by Dr. Lori Desautels to all interested and and also those that are searching for highly effective professional development as part of a district's grant requirement.

Day 2: Create plans of action to begin seeding this framework into schools and districts. Day 3: Review/ New Research/ Questions/ Modifications/ Challenges
Day 4: How to move the needle with integrating these practices throughout our buildings INCLUDING parents and families! Plan again to continue moving forward.
