What’s Covered:

 

  • Neuroscience 101: A concise, teacher-friendly introduction to neuronal pathways and brain-behaviour links.
  • The Airport Analogy: A powerful metaphor that helps students (and teachers!) understand the brain’s key roles:
    • Amygdala = Radar (detects threats)
    • Prefrontal Cortex = Traffic Controller (makes decisions)
    • Hippocampus = Controller’s Book (stores memories)
    • Hypothalamus = Fuel Tank (manages emotions and needs)
    • Brain Stem = Runway Crew (keeps the body running)

 

  • In Practice: How the analogy translates into classroom language, visuals, and routines.
