Meet the Porcupine protector. It pushes you away. It grumps and complains. It makes it very challenging to approach the amazing kid inside.
But those spikes are just a suit of armor. Inside is a brain that doesn't feel safe.

If you already see behavior through this compassionate lens, come join us for an upcoming Behavior Rewired Train-the-Trainer event. We give school leaders the gloves needed to handle those prickly porcupine moments, in students and staff.

A good reminder...

“Many of the adults whom we ultimately admire most were not easy teenagers,” Russell Shaw writes. He argues that kids with a flair for critical thinking and principled dissent should be championed: https://theatln.tc/oheEh228

Brain Builders, Unite!
Our very own BraveBrains Founder & Lead Trainer, Jessica Sinarski, recently hopped on The Unteachables Podcast with Claire English to chat through:
• Why your own brain goes on autopilot when things get loud (and why that's normal!)
• How to remember that we are the boss of our own brains (even in the middle of a meltdown!)
• How to remind yourself: It’s not personal. (The kiddos you support don’t wake up to ruin your day!)
• Why proprioception might be the secret classroom management tool you’re missing (and how to use it to help ground your students!)

If you’re looking for some anchors to keep you steady in the midst of challenging behavior, this conversation is for you.

The Unteachables Podcast Podcast · Claire English · Welcome to 'The Unteachables Podcast', your go-to resource for practical classroom management strategies and teacher support. I’m your host, Claire English, a passionate secondary teacher and leader turned teacher mentor and author of 'It's Never Just About the Behavio...

Imagine a school where the principal, the para, and the 1st grade teacher all use the same language to describe a brain in distress.
"It looks like Bella’s Tiger brain is out today. Let's get some roars out before we go into class."
Shared language creates shared safety, and that’s what we help with here at BraveBrains. Not just consequencing behavior after the fact, but supporting the brain behind the behavior so the Learning Brain can get back online.

TX educators - the countdown is on!

You are going to leave feeling prepared, supported, and confident in your ability to champion sustainable behavior change across your region - and our excitement for you is next level!
If you’re attending this one, tell us in the comments what you’re most looking forward to!

Most schools don’t need one more initiative. They need a shared way to make sense of behavior.

When that shared lens is missing, even strong teams can become inconsistent in how they respond. Raise your hand if this sounds familiar 🙌

We help school leaders translate the brain science behind the behavior into something your staff can actually use.

This is how culture change takes root. One B.R.A.V.E. moment at a time.
