The Brain State: 10 Essential Tier 1 Supports for Educators and Students

The Brain State: 10 Essential Tier 1 Supports for Educators and Students

District leaders who promote brain state model-based approaches, like Conscious Discipline and Applied Educational Neuroscience (AEN), in their schools equip educators with the knowledge to properly instill self-regulation and emotional resilience in students. Educators who understand their brain state - or how the brain functions - can teach behaviors as learnable skills to foster student wellness, while ensuring their own actions are preventative and adversity responsive.

At Tippecanoe School Corporation (TSC), Conscious Discipline-Certified Instructors partner with in-district Neuro-Educators to provide PD districtwide for teachers to learn about the brain state through the TSC’s CDAT team, called the Brain Brigade. In this podcast, a TSC Neuro-Educator and partnered Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor will explore how the Conscious Discipline-informed Brain Brigade trains educators on using these skills districtwide, including a critical component of the TSC program, “10 Essential Tier 1 Brain-Aligned Practices.”

 Key Takeaways:  

• District Perspective on Tier 1: What district leaders need to know about “10 Essential Tier 1 Brain-Aligned Practices” to enhance cognitive development, self-regulation and engagement in their schools 
• Promoting Brain Culture Districtwide: Conscious Discipline (CD) brain-based approach and implementation strategies help teachers embrace and understand the importance of self-regulation and Applied Educational Neuroscience 
• Family Engagement Strategies: Best practices on communicating with families to promote mental wellness at home and why this matters 
• Assess Your District Needs: How to identify if the integration of comprehensive Applied Education Neuroscience and CD practices are right for your district
