Movement & breath regulate the nervous system & improve cognition. Grateful to Novi Educational Foundation for my grant that allowed the purchase of 2 Classroom Cruisers, creating more opportunity for safety & regulation! #AEN Village Oaks Elem. #novipride

Creating environments of felt-safety is always a work in progress. Classroom Cruisers add an element of rhythm & movement to my calm student space. This speaks to the nervous system of every student. Village Oaks Elem. Novi Educational Foundation #AEN #traumainformed

Rewards/punishments put all the weight of behavior change on the little human without a fully developed brain. What if the child doesn't need to change but the environment needs to change? What if the child's brain doesn't feel safe? Punishments/Rewards won't make them feel safe

Wheels Up! Wildly excited to present and connect with community at the ATN Creating Trauma Sensitive Schools Conference, the biggest and best conference of its kind! #tss2024 #traumasensitive #traumahealing #traumainformed #traumaresponsive #aen

My friend and colleague at the Trauma Informed Educators Network, Joe Brummer, absolutely knocked it out of the park at the Attachment & Trauma Network (ATN) CTSS conference! #tss2024ATN #tss2024 #traumainformed #traumaresponsive #restorativejustice

In the new manual, Body and Brain Brilliance, out this summer we begin to address the blended states of our nervous systems empowering emotional & mental health and sustainable well-being as the nervous system moves through development ( for adults &students) TeacherGoals

Just sharing this again. Feel free to share this too!

Schools are living systems and each must decide to be trauma-informed or not. Every systems will have a story of transformation or a story of resistance. Either way, it's a story that will be told. #disruptersunite #revelationsineducation #educators #schools #traumainformed #AEN

Book studies for trauma responsiveness, restorative practices and neuroscience are fantastic! But unless you are embodying the work and applying it to your everyday practices, you are not moving the needle. #mentalhealth #educatorgoals #aen #disruptersunite #rp

Republicans on cutting Medicaid. They Fucking Lied. #BigBeautifulBetrayal

Christians praying for the passage of a bill that will hurt the poor, sick and children to help the rich....

If an angry, vengeful, convicted felon, xenophobic racist, and adjudicated rapist can be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, then the prize means nothing, which essentially negates all prior winners. I hope that integrity still matters and that this is not the case.

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you.

Holy shit. Lisa Kurdrow did an impression of every Republican and it’s absolutely perfect. This needs to go viral.

Wake up.

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won? People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump. It’s always pure projection.

Holy shit! After Megyn Kelly gave a free pass to pedophiles Trump and Jeffrey Epstein to fuck children, this 14-year-old girl just gave Kelly a brutal reality check. 😳👇

If there is not outrage about this, then it’s a cover up of pedos. The GOP owns this
