Brainless Education: We Can't Develop Minds without Considering Kids' Brains.
The way most schools are run, it often seems there is little understanding of what decades of neuroscience have revealed about developing young brains – or that they just don’t care.
In this talk, a neuropsychologist and a veteran tutor will offer five insights and practical suggestions that, were they applied in schools, would revolutionize education.

Utilizing Neuroscience in Calls for Support
Have you ever actually been taught how to de-escalate a student or respond to a call for support from a classroom? In this session, my goal is to equip you with useful knowledge and skills to help you respond to those calls from a place of empowerment rather than just guessing and seeing what sticks. We will explore relevant neuroscience, discuss specific examples, and give strategies to be utilized in the moment so that you can connect, regulate, and get the student back to class.
