Andy Jacks
About this episode

Neuroscience, the study of how the brain works and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions, provides such an amazing opportunity to finally understand some new ways to help kids as they struggle with misconduct. A student’s surface level behavior is really just communication to us on what may be happening behind the scenes with emotions and stress levels. Instead of reacting to these behaviors, we can instead respond in ways that meet the needs at their neuro-needs. In this episode, school leader and neuro-expert Jodi Place provides great insights and resources into what this means for educators with co-regulation and responsive teaching.
