The 21st century classroom is complex; 1 in 5 Canadians is living with a mental health condition. This stark reality is well outlined in the 2024 ATA report detailing aggression in K–12 schools. This session is designed to provide some background on two concepts that may be both the cause, and the solution of this struggle: self-regulation and executive functions. Teachers will leave the session understanding the science behind these concepts, as well as some strategies and takeaways to help support a variety of learners in their classrooms. We will cover the neuroscience of “lid flipping,” attention, inhibition and more. Resources and practical tips will be provided with an emphasis on giving beginning teachers actionable steps when faced with dysregulated learners.
