Description
Does it feel like we're all a bit dysregulated these days? Dysregulation is disconnection from regulating resources. When we all have a metaphorical backpack filled with activities and strategies to keep us on the path to resiliency, we're able to greet each day with optimism and hope. This is a collaborative book for staff, students, and families focused on creating resilient learners who thrive in today's classrooms and understand how to become happy, regulated humans in the world.
With far too many teachers quitting, there is a way forward, and understanding your nervous system and those around you is an important step torward creating jobs we love in today's joyfully, messy classrooms. To thrive in classrooms today, we need to understand what underpins resiliency and how to mentor our students to be buoyant when times get tough. As a reading specialist, Dr. Deb has worked with children through adults, helping them become resilient learners. She shares her insights and skills by bringing together the practical application of Polyvagal Theory (the language of the nervous system), Futures methodology, and Extended Mind Science. Together, this creates a powerful book packed full of tools for the adults and activities for the students that bring the theory to life in a way that doesn't take away from teaching time. This book isn't a curriculum. It's a conversation and within its pages are strategies to have organic conversations within the context of every day life in the classroom focusing on befriending one's nervous system.
