Stress, Trauma, and the Brain: Insights for Educators--The Neurosequential Model

The Neurosequential Model in Education, based on an understanding of the structure and sequential nature of the brain, can help educators increase their students’ engagement in learning and mitigate behavioral problems. Listen as Dr. Perry describes the model and its significant impact on how we interact with our students, our own children, and each other.

Brilliant - such wonderful clarity, clearing out the noise from the message. Dr Perry is outstanding in making the neuroscience useful in the real world.

I love how calm he is. I am processing this and my blood pressure goes up just thinking about applicable situations.

100% true. I’m a teacher. I figured out that stress is like poison. I learnt to regulate, so that I don’t waste time because if I’m not regulated my students will take longer to regulate. I’ve got this journey to the cortex figured out nicely despite the fact that I had no idea that I’m on my way to the… cortex. :D

How come I can watch this video on YouTube on my phone but I can't watch it embedded in my Google slide..

So clear. Thank you. Permission to repost, please?

Looking for any specific information on Dr. Perry’s educational background and research, one can’t but get confused: is he a psychiatrist? Or is he a Neurologist? Or maybe he is a Neuropsychologist? Or, is he a Pediatric Physician?
To make such profound statements about Neuroscience on brain, I’d assume that he is a Neurologist or Neuropsychologist.
The fact is: he is neither one nor another. 🤷🏼‍♂️
His theory is very interesting. No doubt.
However, it is just HIS OWN THEORY!! Not supported by ANY current Neuroscientific data!
What would really help the viewers, is the statement at the beginning of this episode re: Dr. Perry’s credentials in Neuroscience.
So, asking our educators to teach his theories to children is a very slippery slope of a cult formation.
Let’s leave the educators to their primary responsibilities and leave “questionable” theories to academicians.

He looks like he knows the right meds to give himself. Prolly oxys and fetty

While I agree with the principles and the intent, I have seen other models in the past rely on such over-simplifications of neuroscience to sell a practice. I understand that it imparts an authority to the model, making a "soft science" appear to be a "hard science", but it also instills a false sense of biological determinism which people project onto other aspects of their lives, and other people. I strongly object to teaching children such reductive beliefs about their own brains, and feel that the same goals could be obtained without the air of pseudoscience which is all too pervasive in society already.
