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.

Society and schools are full of heated discussion and passionate arguments. While these moments can be healthy and engaging, they can also lead to ruined relationships and emotional trauma. A few recent moments made me reflect on ways that we could be more thoughtful in how we disagree with others, how we keep ourselves in check, and how we ensure others feel validated in their views. What an important lesson both for life and for our work kids! #DisciplineWin Learn more at andyjacks.com - Share your thoughts with me on social media @_AndyJacks. #disciplinewin
