 Are you ready to make some emotional potion?
Join Carmen as she shares her favorite new non-fiction book that can help us teach our students about the brain!
Where do feelings come from? Are they magic? No, they're science! There is a reason our tummies feel funny when we are worried and why we want to stomp and clench our fists when we feel mad. With endearing illustrations, the parts of the brain come alive as friendly characters who explain how emotions like happy, sad, mad, worried, and overwhelmed are created in the body.

Being able to de-escalate a student and/or adult is a crucial skill in today’s classroom environment. We all have learned basic de-escalation skills but have you ever looked at it from a brain perspective? In this session, we will learn how to evaluate which part of the brain has been activated during a crisis and learn how to bring that portion of the brain back to reality all while keeping ourselves regulated as well.
