Schools and Educators
Teaching is a whole-body event
Your executive functioning focuses on academic content. Your survival systems focus on safety. This is why, at the end of a school day, your body can feel like it has been lifting elephants.
Understanding the reciprocal biological process between you and your students, lifts that burden and increases your student’s potential to focus on your content.
