For years, we struggled to halt cortisol's attack on brains of children who live in poverty; standing helpless as cortisol savaged EQ and IQ. There is real hope in bestselling author Dr. Linda Karges-Bone's “Extravagant Enrichment” theory. Research from multiple studies suggests that targeted, layered, enrichment may actually “detox” brain tissue that has been inflamed by toxins such as cortisol that are triggered by situational and generational poverty. Participants will leave with specific ways to enrich teaching, planning, school culture, neuro-architecture, classroom management, and the language/literacy paradigm, all rooted in research. Though not a cure, “Extravagant Enrichment” is a tonic that soothes neural inflammation, allowing the teaching and learning process to flow freely. Explore possibilities for a Cortisol Intervention with Dr. Bone, author of “Brain Tips” and “Rich Brain, Poor Brain” and free yourself and your students from unnecessary brain pain.
