A Calm Brain is a Thinking Brain: Designing calm, engaging early learning environments, by Dr. Kathryn Murray

Sponsored by Future Strong Education

Brains develop over time and respond to experiences and interactions. Playful interactions in an environment that supports brain development build security, confidence, and resilience and open opportunities for learning. Join award-winning early childhood education and environmental design specialist Dr. Kathryn Murray to unpack the reasons why classroom design is much more than where to put the furniture and how to use classroom design to support children’s development.

In this insightful webinar, you will learn the original Brain-SET Environments Formula™ that integrates an understanding of brain development with foundations of early childhood environmental design and why it is important to harmonize the 3 levels of the brain, Survival, Emotions, and Thinking (S.E.T.) to ensure calm thinking and playful learning. As Katheryn explores Brain-SET’s 3 Design Pillars and 16 Elements of Design, she will discuss photos that exemplify Brain-SET environments. You will learn how to create spaces that are purposefully curated to build skills using play and exploration as powerful motivators for learning. In this session, you will hear bout research, practical applications, and testimonials of successful Brain-SET learning environments from a range of centers. Learn how creating a Brain-SET environment ensures that ‘a calm brain is a thinking brain’ for teachers and children.

 

All sessions are 1.5 hours long and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.
