EP272 The neuroscience of co-thriving with students (with. Dr. Rebecca Branstetter)

Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers

Want some practical strategies backed by brain research that can help you and your students co-thrive together?

My guest today is Dr. Rebecca Branstetter, Ph.D. She’s a school psychologist, speaker, and author on a mission to help children thrive by supporting educators, mental health providers, and families. She is the founder of The Thriving Students Collective and Thrive Hive TV™ Network, online platforms for boosting the mental health and learning needs of children. She is also my co-creator for our professional development course called How to Reverse Educator Burnout.

Listen in as we discuss:

• What can people who aren’t current classroom teachers add to conversations about educator burnout?
• What are the brain research-based markers of thriving in life and in work?
• What are some specific practices backed by neuroscience that teachers can use to make their classrooms a place where co-thrive with kids?

Let your school or district know that How to Reverse Educator Burnout is 50% off through March 10th, 2023, and purchase orders are accepted. This is relevant, practical, and enjoyable PD to help schools go beyond talking about self-care and burnout, and instead provide support to educators with practical tools.
