NeuroLogic by Lakeside was created to support the work being done in our various programs at Lakeside.

NeuroLogic® exists to educate and support schools and youth-focused organizations with practical, brain-based approaches to creating sustainable, supportive, and emotionally safe environments. As time progressed, we recognized significant improvements in many of our students, and saw how impactful our new interventions were. Additionally, others who would visit our programs began to see notable growths, and wanted to learn how they could implement these changes within their programs. NeuroLogic now works with schools, intermediate units, after school programs, treatment centers, and other youth-focused organizations across the world. We strive to understand the unique climate of each group we work with so we can best equip them to meet the individual needs of the children they serve. Through a mixture of live in-person, web-based, and streaming services, we find unique formats for each organization we work with.

The bell rings, and chaos ensues. Is this a familiar scenario at your school?

⬇️Here are 5 brain-based ways to transform class transitions:

1. Dismiss students with a brain break such as ball clap.

2. Choose a student to lead a calming brain break a few minutes before the bell.

3. Try a phone/fidget exchange. Start class by gathering students’ phones and giving them fidgets, and end class by returning their phones and collecting the fidgets.

4. Simply give students a heads up that class will be ending soon, and allow time to pack up.

5. Create a unique “exit ticket” that students can do as they walk out the door. This can provide small, positive relational connections.

Comment below on what you’ve found to be successful for your transitions.

Lakeside Educational Network kicked off the school year with a refreshed brand (updated website coming soon).

At NeuroLogic by Lakeside, our hope is that this refresh will more effectively communicate our commitment to reduce classroom dysregulation, support struggling students, and help teachers stay in the profession they love.

Sometimes we pick up habits and recommendations from people around us that are actually more harmful than helpful.

Here are 3 teacher tricks that backfire, and the brain-based substitutes we recommend.

Teachers, your classroom environment and your caring presence can literally change the wiring in students' brains.

You probably know that teaching content creates new neural pathways. But did you know that providing a calm space with safe relationships helps create healthy neural networks for kids too? These neural connections then help students build healthy social-emotional skills and develop positive relationships.

New teachers get lots of advice about classroom management. Often veteran teachers tell a first year “you can always get softer so start out really firm."

This advice encourages teachers to use threatening behavior to get compliance. Some of our teachers tell us they feel they have no other choice. Rather than being burdened with emotional exhaustion all day, some teachers go in the opposite direction and try to be one of the gang, leaving little room for setting boundaries.

At NeuroLogic we encourage teachers to bring their authentic selves to class to build meaningful student connections. Relationship opens opportunities for honest communication between teachers and students. Using what we know about brain science and having a curious approach about behavior can shift teacher student interaction.

Learning puts stress on our brains, and offering brain-breaks can provide relief, as well as an opportunity for us to refocus, get energized, or become calm.

But there are right and wrong ways to do this.

❌ Watch out for these 5 brain-break mistakes…

✅ And keep in mind these 8 positive tips!

It’s late April, and many teachers are feeling fatigued and worn out. Administrators, now is a good time to encourage your staff in little ways. Our brains are hardwired for connection, and a sense of belonging promotes motivation. It doesn’t have to be a waffle luncheon, but it could be.

Here are a few ideas:
1. End a staff meeting early to give teachers time to catch up or just breathe.
2. Bring snacks to a staff meeting. (Bonus points for bringing healthy, savory, and sweet options.)
3. Assign partners who put positive post-it notes on each other’s desk for a month.
4. Make a “shout out board” where administrators can celebrate staff wins.

Behavior is a form of communication.

A brain-based lens helps us understand what a student’s behavior is communicating.

At NeuroLogic®, we take a curious approach to student behavior, seeking to identify potential underlying needs and meet them.

Sometimes we need to put ourselves in our students' shoes.

At Lakeside Schools we teach students about how their bodies and brains respond to stress, and how simple interventions (like hydration, flexible seating, fidgets, or coloring) can help. This knowledge of how their brains work, combined with regulation resources and relational connections, provides a buffer for high school stress.

Consider some of these brain-based ideas for your school. Our NeuroLogic® coaches can help you identify and implement changes!
