This session will take the vast understanding about how the brain learns and behaves and incorporate it into everyday interactions, instruction, interventions, and the daily routines of our classrooms and homes. The neurological factors that allow the brain to learn to its potential and regulate behavior and emotion are vital to instructional and behavioral practices in our schools and homes. This session will challenge some of the “standard” practices and help create a dialogue to begin changing some of the outdated “mind sets” still found in education today. Participants will come away with various activities and strategies that can easily be taken back to their schools (or homes) and modified for any age or level.
