I love the idea from @tko_Ki If Ss can learn 400 Pokemon characters, they can learn 4 things abt the brain. #NeuralEd #teacherfriends

KweezleQueen Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends Q2: Brains work best when ALL needs are met. What does that look like in your class? What supports do you have for brains?

MissyWidmann Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: It changed the way that I thought about Ss. I see amygdala hijack now, not behavioral problem. #teacherfriends

maggieskinder Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends Love this term!

MissyWidmann Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: It changed the way that I thought about Ss. I see amygdala hijack now, not behavioral problem. #teacherfriends

fuzzlady77 Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#teacherfriends That is SO true! Once I learned more about the amygdala, it completely changed in how I deal with students!

In reply to @MissyWidmann

bickd Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends Please explain amygdala hijack as I'm wondering if this is happening at my school too.

In reply to @MissyWidmann

fuzzlady77 Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: #teacherfriends food, compassion, trust, time to think/process, music, helping the brain to learn in different modalities!

maggieskinder Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends A2:Some brains need modifications for the rest of the body to be able to move while Ss are thinking/working.Flex seating!!!

CeciliaPortugal Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@KweezleQueen #Teacherfriends this is one of my dav topics but I am sick. My son benefited from motor exercises. Brain body connect. Impt!!!

drmcgaughy Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Snacks/water, lighting and music. #teacherfriends

MissyWidmann Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#teacherfriends A1: If you add dopamine to the classroom, you have learning! Exercise, music, games, kinesthetic activites = dopamine.

kinderkfoley Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#NeuralEd #teacherfriends

bickd Sep 5 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 safety is one of the most important things, use a lot of structure and routine to offer safety. No idea if it is good. #TeacherFriends

kinderkfoley Sep 5 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Yes!! #NeuralEd #TeacherFriends Dopamine is so important :)

#NeuralEd #teacherfriends Amygdala Hijack is when your body goes into Flight, Fright, Freeze...and you are not using your thinking brain.

#teacherfriends I find that lots of my Kinders will want a nap after their amygdala goes into flight/fight mode. They need to recenter.

In reply to @kinderkfoley

FirstAtBat Sep 5 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: Greet them w luv have snacks available, listening ear, get help for those who need it that I can't. Guidance, resources. #TeacherFriends

bickd Sep 5 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends There seems to be so many brain pieces our Ss are missing. How can we best help them?

KweezleQueen Sep 5 @ 9:23 PM EDT

My amygdala was brainjacked about 10 days ago and I am ready to have it returned. #TeacherFriends This kind of stress is horrific

kinderkfoley Sep 5 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#NeuralEd #teacherfriends Amygdala Hijack is when your body goes into Flight, Fright, Freeze...and you are not using your thinking brain.

kinderkfoley Sep 5 @ 9:23 PM EDT

I've already been teaching my daughter about Amygdala Hijacking & it has helped her. All Ss should be taught. #teacherfriends #NeuralEd

bickd Sep 5 @ 9:24 PM EDT

How old should Ss be to learn about their brains and be able to understand? #TeacherFriends

kinderkfoley Sep 5 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I think our students are not aware, and can easily learn about the brain so that they can become empowered. #neuraled #teacherfriends

bickd Sep 5 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends There seems to be so many brain pieces our Ss are missing. How can we best help them?

MissyWidmann Sep 5 @ 9:24 PM EDT

#teacherfriends Brain is brain! Child, teen, adult...it is that feeling when you are stuck in traffic. Ss feel it entering the classroom.

maggieskinder Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

#TeacherFriends A3:Use a variety of response tools when having https://t.co/StTcO2RPr4 me your thumb if you...hold up 3 fingers for 3 ideas

fuzzlady77 Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: #teacherfriends Lots of impromptu things put to tunes to help us remember, repeating simple steps, acting it out, turn/tell a partner

MissyWidmann Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

#teacherfriends A3: Brainbreaks, review games, content specific kinesthetic activites.

FirstAtBat Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: Choice! Innovation. Let them explore passion, use their gifts. Tech is certainly a piece. TIME to write, think, read. #TeacherFriends

bickd Sep 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Hands on science activities daily #TeacherFriends

maggieskinder Sep 5 @ 9:28 PM EDT
