DESCRIPTION

ONE-DAY INTRODUCTORY TRAINING TO THE NME ($75)

NME TRAINING

The Neurosequential Model in Education (NME) was developed to introduce concepts related to brain development, brain functioning, and developmental trauma into everyday classroom settings. The NME is not a specific “intervention”, but draws upon the NMT (a neurodevelopmentally-informed, biologically respectful perspective on human development and functioning) to support those involved in educating children in gaining new perspectives on student behavior and performance. This training uses everyday classroom challenges to assist participants in directly applying basic NME concepts to the teaching and learning process. The NME can be used inside and outside the classroom by anyone involved in the education of young children, and is particularly helpful in working with young children with a history of adverse childhood experiences.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This training is designed for anyone involved in serving children, and supporting their ability to learn and develop optimally, including: educators, administrators, counselors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, physicians, speech/language specialists, OTs, PTs, and others.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

As a result of this training, attendees will be able to:

  1. Explain the core concepts of Perry’s Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics.
  2. Describe how a “neurodevelopmental and trauma-informed approach” in the classroom or group setting can support learning.
  3. In an educational setting, be able to complete the Classroom Functional Map to assess the brain-mediated strengths and vulnerabilities of individual children.
  4. In a group or classroom setting, have the ability to quickly determine a child’s Executive Functioning.
  5. In the context of working with young children, describe how the Executive Functioning relates to a child’s ability to self-regulate.
  6. Explain the relationships among regulation, teaching, and learning.
