L. H-Huse: London Towne Elementary
I learned many effective strategies to manage behaviors which occur at the intersection of anxiety and executive function such as reactions triggered by cognitive overload and how stress limits access to executive function. I became mindful of language and coping skills to lessen anxiety in my classroom.

Noel’s workshop was so fantastic for an educator—the strategies, the brain science behind the behaviors, resources, what to do and how to build executive function, just to name a few. I will also be sharing this information with parents and coaches who work with students. Thank you!

Why a neuroeducational approach?
It’s how the brain likes to learn
It’s a matter of science: when stress is high, learning suffers. Multi-sensory, learning-focused strategies that decrease stress and elicit productive emotional states optimize brain function, behavior and learning potential.
It boosts Executive Function and a Growth Mindset
Strong executive function and a growth mindset increase one’s ownership of learning, ability to learn from mistakes and build resilience.
It increases engagement and performance
Peak performance starts with the brain. By cultivating a safe and stimulating environment that supports how the brain learns best, students actively process, remember more of what they learn and “step into the zone.”
