Teachers have long known that the brain learns best when it is both calm and alert.  Unfortunately, many of our students arrive in our classrooms with brains that are wired for survival rather than learning and are unable to self-regulate.  This makes classroom success difficult. Our students know this.

During Student Forums, student’s advised that a mental health support they wished for was the ability to take needed breaks from classes to "reset" and to have this intervention normalized in their school so they could easily return to class.  Our classroom teachers continue to ask for more skills to quickly and effectively support students in re-setting or regulating their brains to a state of calm, alert and ready to learn.

If you would like to explore a trauma-informed process to help your students re-regulate and return to active learning, join us for a three-part Book Study series.  These 60-minute sessions will incorporate pro-active strategies that are useful for whole classrooms as well as individual students and are based on the book The Re-Set Process: Trauma-Informed Behavior Strategies.  It is not necessary to purchase the book to participate.
