This professional learning session explores how the brain functions under stress and trauma and why behavior looks different when students are operating outside of their cortex. Participants will build a foundational understanding of key brain structures, examine common stress responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn — and learn how these survival states impact learning, behavior, and decision-making. The session will then focus on state-dependent functioning and provide practical, relationship-based strategies educators can use to help students move from survival mode back into their thinking brain, where learning and self-regulation are possible.
