#34: Co-Regulation Explained: The Core of Calm and Effective Classroom Management
Jun 27, 2024This week's "pillar" episode of The Unteachables Podcast explains the concepts at the core of my approach to classroom management; coregulation, regulation and dysregulation.
I uncover how our survival instincts contribute to our emotional landscape and the implications it holds for teaching, and set the stage for future episodes where I delve into actionable classroom management underpinned by the need for co-regulation.
Listen in as I discuss the role of the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex, the crucial relationship they have, and how this is established. As well as answering the question, "why are some individuals able to better coregulate than others?" as I explore the influence of early childhood experiences, attachment, temperament, and traumatic events on our ability to manage emotions.
