Memory, mood and perceptions have an impact on learning. They influence our ability to process information and to accurately understand what we encounter. But how much do educators really know about how the brain impacts all aspects of a student’s day? So many students present with different levels of trauma which impact their ability to effectively engage in their school day.  Additionally, students are presenting with higher rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse making it difficult for them to be fully present in the learning environment.  During this course participants will explore the emotional system, gain a better understanding of how it impacts behavior and learn effective strategies to incorporate emotional resilience into existing curriculums.
