Sensational Synergy
Featured Presentations
During this presentation, mentors and their teacher mentees, explored Applied Educational Neuroscience Pillars to systematically support regulation, emotional well being and relationship in their learning community.
It starts with regulating our nervous systems so we can be anchors for our students' nervous systems!
During this presentation, participants explored strategies on how to strategically reduce cognitive load for engagement. These teachers walked away with brain aligned tools to empower the information processing in their instructional practices.
Through intentional instructional design with the brain in mind, engagement and learning will naturally increase!
NWPBIS Conference 2022: Sensational Tier 2 Behavior Support
During this presentation, participants discovered brain friendly and aligned ways to support de-escalation of behavior while also establishing proactive and preventative systems and strategies.
By establishing brain-aligned behavior response protocols, you will effectively support students in stress response.
NWPBIS Conference 2022: Sensational Tier 2 Behavior Support
Connections Over Compliance: Relational and Neuroscience Based Behavior Support
NWPBIS Conference 2022: Sensational Tier 2 Behavior Support
Establish a well-functioning Tier 2 Behavior Intervention system utilizing Sensory Support Tools and Strategies. During this presentation we explored systems of support for Tier 2 Behavior Interventions.
Developing your Tier 2 Behavior Supports that are established by Sensory and Nervous system needs will produce regulated and resilient learners.
