Turn brain science into everyday classroom language with this beautifully designed, ready-to-print resource pack.
The Brain Pilot Classroom Printables are your go-to toolkit for embedding self-regulation, emotional literacy, and neuroscience into daily routines (without adding to your workload). Whether you’re launching a wellbeing unit or reinforcing behaviour strategies, these visuals make it easy for students to understand, remember, and apply the Brain Pilot framework.
What’s Included:
- A2 Self-Regulation Poster: A bold, whole-class visual introducing the 4-step routine — Pause, Breathe, Think, Act.
- Step-by-Step Posters (x4): Breaks down each regulation step with student-friendly language, visuals and real-life examples.
- “Pause Button” Poster: A tactile anchor for students to physically touch when they need a moment to reset.
- THINK Poster: Scaffolds decision-making with three guiding questions: Is it safe? Is it kind? Will it help me learn?
- Breathing Strategy Posters (x3): Visual guides for calming techniques students can use independently.
- Brain Pilot Awards (x4): Celebrate Perfect Pausing, Brilliant Breathing, Terrific Thinking and Awesome Acting with printable certificates.
- Customisable Badges: “Brain Pilot” badges students can decorate and wear with pride.
- Training Cards with Star Collection: Like sticker charts, track progress as students demonstrate each regulation step.
- Airport Analogy Posters (x5): Each brain part explained through its airport role — Radar (Amygdala), Traffic Controller (Prefrontal Cortex), Traffic Controller’s Book (Hippocampus), Fuel Tank (Hypothalamus), Runway Crew (Brain Stem).
Why Teachers Love It:
- Instant Implementation: No prep required — just print and display.
- Visually Consistent: Designed to complement the full Brain Pilot suite.
- Student-Centred: Language and visuals tailored for primary learners.
- Curriculum-Aligned: Supports SEL, wellbeing and behaviour frameworks.

Whether you’re building a calm corner, launching a wellbeing wall or embedding regulation routines across your classroom, this printables pack brings the Brain Pilot journey to life.
Use alongside the Brain Pilot PowerPoints and PD session for a complete, cohesive approach to behaviour and emotional literacy.
🛫 Help every student take the controls with visuals that make brain-based learning stick.
Equip your staff with the knowledge and tools to confidently teach brain-based behaviour strategies.
This ready-to-deliver professional development PowerPoint is your shortcut to building a neuroscience-informed, emotionally literate classroom culture. Whether you’re leading a whole-school wellbeing initiative or supporting individual teachers, this resource makes the science of behaviour clear, practical and immediately applicable at an introductory level.
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.
- Regulation Routine: Introduces the 4-step strategy—Pause, Breathe, Think, Act—with practical tips for modelling and embedding it.
Why Leaders & Teachers Love It:
- Ready to Go: No prep required — just plug in and present.
- Clear & Concise: Cuts through complexity with visuals and analogies that stick.
- Builds Teacher Confidence: Demystifies neuroscience and behaviour management.
- Curriculum-Aligned: Supports SEL, wellbeing and behaviour frameworks.
- Whole-School Consistency: Aligns teacher understanding with student-facing resources in the “Become a Brain Pilot” suite.
Whether you’re onboarding new staff, refreshing your wellbeing approach or embedding brain-based strategies across your school, this PD PowerPoint is your launchpad.
Pair it with the student-facing Brain Pilot PowerPoint and classroom visuals for a complete, cohesive approach to behaviour and self-regulation.
🛫 Empower your educators to guide every student toward confident, calm and thoughtful flight.
Ready for take-off? This vibrant, ready-to-teach PowerPoint launches your students into the fascinating world of the brain—through the eyes of a pilot!
Designed specifically for primary school learners, this engaging resource uses a powerful airport analogy to demystify the brain’s key players in behaviour and self-regulation. With age-appropriate visuals and clear, student-friendly language, this presentation makes complex neuroscience not only accessible—but unforgettable.
What’s Inside:
This PowerPoint introduces students to a simple, age-appropriate analogy that identifies the following parts of the brain:
- Amygdala – The Radar
- Prefrontal Cortex – The Traffic Controller
- Hippocampus – The Traffic Controller’s Book
- Hypothalamus – The Fuel Tank
- Brain Stem – The Runway Crew
Then, students are introduced to a simple, empowering 4-step self-regulation strategy:
Pause → Breathe → Think → Act
Why Teachers Love It:
- Huge Time Saver: No prep — just open and teach!
- Visually Rich: Custom-designed slides with clear, relatable illustrations.
- Built for Primary Learners: Language and visuals tailored for young minds.
- Builds Vocabulary: Introduces and reinforces key neuroscience terms.
- SEL-Driven: Supports emotional literacy, self-awareness and behaviour regulation.
Whether you’re launching a wellbeing unit, introducing brain science, or building a culture of self-awareness in your classroom, this PowerPoint is your perfect co-pilot.
Pair it with the full “Become a Brain Pilot” resource pack for a complete, cohesive journey into brain-based learning and emotional intelligence.
🛫 Empower your students to take the controls — because every learner deserves to be the pilot of their own brain.
