About the Book
7 Keys to Reducing Disruptive Behavior in the Classroom
Being an effective educator isn’t just about what you know.
Behavior challenges are on the rise, and when stress runs high, knowledge alone isn’t enough. Stress shifts how the brain functions and behavior follows.
Light Up the Learning Brain bridges the gap between educational neuroscience and real-world practice. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, the book invites you to become a Brain Builder, equipping you with practical scripts, tools, and brain-boosting strategies.
Through 10 short, actionable chapters, readers will:
- Understand how the brain’s two main “operating systems” interact and why behavior can shift so quickly
- See the role of the brain’s alarm system in both behavior and learning (and explain it to students, too!)
- Increase classroom focus with a few low-lift, high-impact shifts
- Spark more connection, curiosity, and academic growth in all students
Written for busy adults, this practical guide introduces a compassionate, researched-backed lens for understanding behavior, helping you light up the learning brain.
