A Polyvagal Approach for Educators: Exploring Discipline Protocols

With Dr. Lori Desautels. This is a self-paced course that you can start at any time.

Learn with Lori

Educators sit with and attend to up to 200 students every day, putting them in a unique perspective to observe their behaviors and nervous system responses. Traditionally, educators have paid attention to observable behaviors, assessing them as appropriate or inappropriate, alongside a variety of additional nuanced labels. Now, through Polyvagal Theory alongside other social and affective neuroscience research, we understand that education requires “state regulation” to access and integrate the cognitive and mental ability needed to succeed in school and navigate life experiences.
