What this is and How to proceed
Thank you for joining us as we dig into 15-Minute Focus: Regulation and Co-Regulation: Accessible Neuroscience and Connection Strategies that Bring Calm into the Classroom, a phenomenal book by Ginger Healy.
Your hosts for this series are Carmen Zeisler and Megan Yoder.
A few things to know before we start:
In this book study course, it is expected that you will have your own copy of the book to read/listen to.
We will be reading the book, two chapters at a time and discussing them, along with a special guest on our podcast. You'll hear from an amazing lineup of guests like
- Dustin Springer, principal at Grey Hawk Elementary in Basehor-Linwood, KS;
- Katie McDonald, ESSDACK Resilience Team consultant and coach;
- Guy Stephens, founder and executive director of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint (AASR);
- Eric Nachtigal, the newest member of the ESSDACK Resilience Team;
- Jodi Place, administrator for a grade 6–12 alternative education program in Virginia;
- Martin Boese, breathing coach and student of restorative practices;
- Ginger Lewman, ESSDACK Resilience Team consultant and coach;
- Ginger Healy, LCSW and team member of the Attachment and Trauma Network... and author of 15-Minute Focus: Regulation and Co-Regulation: Accessible Neuroscience and Connection Strategies that Bring Calm into the Classroom!
You will mostly likely want to read each section before listening to the podcast, but perhaps you'd like to be drawn into the chapters by the podcast conversation. You get to choose how you approach this book study.
Each section will have a few question prompts to encourage your thinking. We encourage you to spend a few moments pondering your take on each question and topic.
