Self Help For Trauma Through Tapping In Your Classroom  The effects of emotional and post-traumatic stress are debilitating and invisible, but they can be diminished and sometimes even resolved in a short time with a simple and efficient self-regulation technique called tapping. The Trauma Tapping Technique is a proven self-help method for relaxing emotional stress that you can perform in your classroom to help students regulate and get into their working brain.  This technique takes less than 5 minutes and can be utilized by anyone.   What Is Tapping?, Tapping To Start Your Day For Kids 

NEUROSEQUENTIAL MODEL – Over the next several weeks, we will be highlighting Dr. Bruce Perry’s work, The Neurosequential Model in Education.  Dr. Perry’s work is based on an understanding of the structure and sequential nature of the brain, which can help educators increase their students’ engagement in learning and mitigate behavioral problems. Listen as Dr. Perry describes the model and its significant impact on how we interact with our students, our own children, and each other. 

Patterns of Stress & Resilience: Neurosequential Network Stress & Trauma Series  This is a brief video (20 min) describing the sequential processing of experience in the brain.  The Regulate-Relate-Reason heuristic is explained. This simple but powerful concept can help minimize miscommunication and behavioral challenges (especially with dysregulated adults and children).
