Dysregulation, Dissociation, and Discombobulation: Understanding Brain Science and Its Impact on Student Learning and Behavior
Sunday August 2, 2026 2:00pm - 3:45pm PDT
Ever find yourself thinking, “Why would they choose that?”  - especially when a student’s decision impacts safety, performance, or their own future? In CTE settings, behavior matters. Focus matters. Follow-through matters. And when students struggle with any of those, it can derail learning fast. This interactive and practical session explores what’s happening in the adolescent brain, particularly when students have experienced chronic stress or adversity. We’ll unpack how trauma impacts memory, emotional regulation, risk-taking, motivation, and readiness to learn - all through the lens of hands-on, skills-based classrooms. Because we’re not just teaching content, we’re preparing students for real-world environments. When we understand the brain, we can respond in ways that build skill, responsibility, and resilience.
