I strongly agree with Bruce Perry statement about teachers impact to influence students for the rest of thier lives. I love that he talks about using tiny moments to make a difference with students. Being seen and heard is so validating! DL

This session # 1 is an intro. to three core visual models used to explain the concepts used in NME (The Six Rs, Sequential Engagement & Processing, Representation of the brain and its functions)

Useful tips of how to explain concepts and models to families or in professional development. Dr. Perry went over which charts would be the most help to explain to other quickly. Good one Dr. Perry about delayed gratification! LOL!

I agree Dr. Perry; you need to satisfy the lower brainstem to open the pathways to external input to reach the cortex. More mini map analysis and real experience anecdotal stories.

We all wish we didn't have high teacher turnover, no pressures from curriculum pacing (more PBL!) to hang outside more often, and to administer less testing (which we as educators have been fighting for years).

Hear! Hear! Dr. Perry!

Could you come talk to our district?! LOL

The three experts have a great discussion using personal events to demonstrate how the states of dependency affects our ability to think or function. A great introduction to the NM model.

Aren't we lucky! Our awesome brain gives us a variety of options to utilize to respond to threat (often in a complex way) and we all respond to threats differently.

Dr. Perry talks about neglect being most damaging early in life. This is due to the rapid growth of the brain in the first 3 years. He explains that in order for the genetic potental to be obtained, the child needs a variety of experiences. He refers to the Romanian orphans, where there were 40-60 babies and toddlers being care for by 1 or 2 caregivers. He talks about after the children were removed, they grew up with deficits. DL

Stress is not always a bad thing. I "can be your ally". Stress can help us to develop competency. It also helps to prepare for challenges. DL

Dr. Perry talks about how stress shuts down the top part of the brain and the focus and control goes to the lower parts of the brain. He explained that when this happens we regress and can behave in less socially appropriate manners (e.g. hissy-fits, etc) DL

Dr. Perry talks about the functions of the lower brain. The lower part of the brain sends signals that impacts the functioning of the body. In addition, the lower part sends messages to the higher parts of our brain. This knowledge is important in understanding our students and ourselves. DL

We assess threats ( real or ipercieved) through internal and external systems. Our responses can be either arousal or dissociative or a combination of both. Those respenses. Those reponses then release chemicals and prepare us for the threat. DL
