About this listen
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lori Desautels, a leading expert in the intersection of neuroscience and education, to explore how understanding the brain can reshape the way we teach, connect, and support students. We dive into the science of neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and self-awareness, and how these elements are essential to building trauma-informed, student-centered classrooms.Dr. Desautels shares how teachers’ emotional states and nervous systems directly impact student learning and behavior. We talk about the importance of proactive discipline strategies, the power of connection and empathy over compliance, and how to foster safe, engaging learning environments. Her insights are a call to action for educators to reflect, grow, and prioritize both their own well-being and that of their students.Whether you’re a classroom teacher, school leader, or education changemaker, this episode offers practical strategies and research-backed approaches to integrating brain-based teaching, social-emotional learning (SEL), and trauma-informed practices into your work.
