Check out my book. It will help you understand the brain science you need to know and how to apply it to create a NeuroWell Culture in your school

As educators, our medium is the brain. Sadly, most educator preparation programs fall short of teaching their students the brain science they need to know to understand student behavior, engagement, and executive functioning. This book details the many reasons students' brains are different today, explains the brain science educators need to know to be more strategic and successful, and introduces a NeuroWell culture and how to build one.
A NeuroWell culture applies brain science to inform actions that make schools safe, supportive, and proactive. Schools with a NeuroWell culture enjoy fewer behavioral and attendance problems, higher student engagement and academic success, and happier students and staff. This book provides information and how-to information to help schools build a NeuroWell culture suited for the modern student. Part 1 details the technological, social, and environmental changes that have impacted the executive functioning and stress management of the modern student. Part 2 reviews the brain science every educator should know, so they can understand student behavior, engagement, and mental health. Part 3 introduces a Neuro-Well culture and details many practical strategies educators can use to create a safe, supportive, and proactive culture in their school and classrooms. Part 4 provides suggestions for engaging parents and influencing positive habits aligned with a NeuroWell culture in the home. Dr. Riegel forms long-term partnerships with her clients so she can directly lead, support, and celebrate their journey to a more safe, supportive, and proactive organizational culture. She can facilitate a book study in your school and work directly with your administration and teachers to support implementation of the practices in NeuroWell. Organizational shifts take time, support, and coaching. Schedule a call with Dr. Riegel to learn more about how she can help your school create the culture the modern student needs to succeed. |
This book is full of actionable and immediate strategies to support educators in meeting the needs of students who struggle with behavior. The content is relatable, with a practical approach in teaching the reader to understand that behavior stems from skill deficits that can be addressed through the explicit teaching of executive functioning skills. Neuro-Wellness is a multilayer process. It begins with science of the brain/body and extends to behavior. Dr. Riegel provides an insightful, practical, and usable overview of the brain science that impacts behavior and engagement. She creates a clear pathway from the science and statistics to effective practices novice and seasoned educators can use to improve student outcomes. Anyone interested in setting up students for success should read this book! John Sepich |
