58m · Jabbedu Education Podcast · 22 Nov 11:00

Have you ever had one of those moments where you feel out of control?  Where your don't seem to have a grip on your emotions? 

Emotional control can be a challenge for students - throw in the hormonal changes that mess with the limbic system during puberty and you can really see it!  That's why teaching the skills of self-regulations can be so crucial for a child's success in the classroom.  Enter: The ZONES of Regulation.

In this episode, I chat with the developer and author of the ZONES of Regulation curriculum and resources, Leah Kuypers.  We cover topics like

  • How the ZONES originated from her work as a Occupational Therapist
  • Why there's no hierarchy, and why you can be in multiple ZONES at once.
  • The four steps to support regulation: recognize, identify, select a tool, regulate!

As well as the extensive number of books, lessons, apps, and other resources available at www.zonesofregulation.com.

Using LEGO Bricks to Discover Why Math Works with Dr. Shirley Disseler

Anybody know the percentage of kids who play with LEGOs growing up?  Well I certainly was one of them.  
Meeting students where they are in order to take them where you want them to go, and making the learning applicable to their every day are two of the foundations of best teaching practices.  That's why using LEGOs to help students learn mathematical concepts is such a great place to start.
In this conversation with Dr. Shirley Disseler, we chat about 

  • how she got into the world of mathematics education
  • Why the Why is so important for learning math
  • How LEGO bricks can be a great tool for learning new concepts
