Research on the brain has shown that emotion plays a key role in learning, but how can educators apply that research in their day-to-day interactions with students? What are some teaching strategies that take advantage of what we know about the brain?
Engage the Brain answers these questions with easy-to-understand explanations of the brain's emotion networks and how they affect learning, paired with specific suggestions for classroom strategies that can make a real difference in how and what students learn. Readers will discover how to design an environment for learning that:

Makes material relevant, relatable, and engaging.

Accommodates tremendous variability in students' brains by giving them multiple options for how to approach their learning.

Incorporates Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and guidelines.

Uses process-oriented feedback and other techniques to spark students' intrinsic motivation.

Author Allison Posey explains how schools can use the same "emotional brain" concepts to create work environments that reduce professional stress and the all-too-common condition of teacher burnout.

Real-world classroom examples, along with reflection and discussion questions, add to the usefulness of Engage the Brain as a practical, informative guide for understanding how to capture the brain's incredible power and achieve better results at all grade levels, in all content areas.

44. What We Say and How We Say It Matter: Teacher Talk That Improves Learning Behavior BOOK STUDY CTLE Approved

Program: School Improvement CTLE #755

Dates: 11/10/2025 to 12/14/2025

Closed

We all want our students to feel safe, collaborate well with others, feel ownership for their learning, and be joyfully engaged in their work. Nevertheless, many teachers end up using language patterns that undermine these goals. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?:

We want students to take responsibility for their learning, yet we use language that implies teacher ownership.

We want to build positive relationships with students, yet we use sarcasm when we get frustrated.

We want students to think learning is fun, yet we sometimes make comments that suggest the opposite.

We want students to exhibit good behavior because it's the right thing to do, yet we rely on threats and bribes, which implies students don't naturally want to be good.

What teachers say to students-when they praise or discipline, give directions or ask questions, and introduce concepts or share stories-affects student learning and behavior. A slight change in intonation can also dramatically change how language feels for students. In What We Say and How We Say It Matter, Mike Anderson digs into the nuances of language in the classroom. This book's many examples will help teachers examine their language habits and intentionally improve their classroom practice so their language matches and supports their goals.

Participants will be responsible for procuring their own copy of the book What We Say And How We Say It Matter: Teacher Talk That Improves Learning and Behavior, by Mike Anderson. ISBN: 978-1-4166-2704-3

Program: School Improvement CTLE #755

Dates: 11/20/2025

"Eyes Up Here: The Science of Capturing Attention Through Classroom Management and Presentation Strategies" dives into what really grabs and holds student attention. We will explore how small changes in classroom seating and decor can have a big impact on learning, and how to spot and address common attention derailers before they even happen. You'll learn how the physical environment can either support or sabotage your efforts and walk away with ideas that are both research-based and easy to implement.

We will also tap into the power of presentation with the help of Richard Mayer's key principles of multimedia design. Learn how to create slides and visuals that actually help students learn rather than distract them. This session will give you the tools to design with attention in mind. Expect practical strategies, fresh insights, and plenty of lightbulb moments to help you create a classroom environment that keeps eyes where they belong-on learning.

73. Understanding and Dealing with Challenging Student Behavior CTLE Approved

Program: School Improvement CTLE #755

Dates: 3/24/2026 to 3/25/2026

In this two-day workshop, participants are provided with information regarding the various types of emotional problems/behaviors symptomatic of particular disturbances. Many times children do not choose to act inappropriately, but rather, can't control or manage their behavior/emotions without outside intervention. Participants will learn how children and youth are affected by brain development and the trauma and stress that can be part of that growth.

Participants will also become familiar with the characteristic behaviors of Disruptive Behavior and Personality Disorders to begin to recognize the need for a "prescriptive" approach as the success of interventions is linked to their efficacy with a particular type of behavior. Participants are made aware of the range of alternative intervention strategies and behavior management programs through an exploration of the cyclical nature of conflict; demonstrating how the way the student perceives, thinks, and feels is manifested in behavior, evokes a response from an adult/peer, and begins a cycle of escalation.

Behavioral first aid strategies are also introduced as ways of labeling what positive interventions can look like when addressing student behavior. By developing a shared vocabulary of names/labels to the techniques and examining when they should be used and when they are contraindicated, start can begin to plan interventions thereby increasing their effectiveness.

Registration: 8:15-8:30 a.m. ~ Session: 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

74. Keeping Everyone Safe CTLE Approved

Program: School Improvement CTLE #755

Dates: 3/26/2026 to 3/27/2026

One of the primary concerns staff members have is how to work with a student who is, or has the potential to become physically aggressive.

The primary goal of this two-day program is to equip staff with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to avoid and de-escalate crisis situations without the need for physical intervention. However, since physical intervention can be deemed necessary for the safety and well-being of the students, staff and environment, participants will also be taught non-aggressive intervention techniques.

This program includes: sources of aggressive behavior, stages of crisis development, keeping others safe, supportive verbal and non-verbal de-escalation strategies, physical responses to attack, supportive physical intervention and transport techniques, crisis team development, roles, and communication, talking with students after a crisis, and development of policies and procedural safeguards.
