Stressed Brains Don’t Learn

Have you noticed a change in your students’ behavior since the pandemic? Perhaps they’re more easily frustrated, less engaged, or struggling to focus?
The truth is, stressed brains can’t learn.
When students are overwhelmed by stress, their ability to learn and grow is significantly impacted. That’s why understanding how stress impacts learning and integrating SEL into our instruction is more important than ever.
In our latest video, we explore how to:
- Recognize how stress impacts cognitive function
- Observe your classroom for stress triggers
- Create a calm and SEL-rich classroom
To delve deeper into the connection between emotions and learning, check out my book, Teaching with the HEART in Mind. You’ll discover practical strategies to help your students thrive.
