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.
