Calm, connected and creative classrooms don’t happen by chance...
WiseLearn supports educators with practical, neuroscience-informed solutions that help you and your children regulate, learn, and thrive — without adding even more to your plate.
Working alongside educators and leaders
A clear starting point for understanding regulation...
Regulation and co-regulation are now central to conversations about behaviour, learning, and wellbeing — yet many educators are left trying to piece together what these concepts actually mean in real classrooms.
The Educator Guide was created as a practical solution to this gap.
Written and translated by an educator and leader who understands the daily realities of schools, the guide breaks down nervous system concepts in clear, grounded language — without jargon, judgement, or unrealistic expectations.
Rather than offering another framework to implement, it helps educators understand:
What regulation really is
How co-regulation actually shows up in busy classrooms
Why behaviour often escalates when systems are overloaded
How calm, connection, and readiness to learn can be supported without adding more to your plate
This guide is not about doing more — it’s about seeing differently, and designing classroom conditions that support both children and the adults who care for them.

Meet the Three Brain Systems We Use, Every Day
Owl Brain
Focus, planning, following instructions.
Elephant Brain
Memory, belonging, feeling safe with others.
Meerkat Brain
Emotional signals, stress reactions, big feelings
When we teach the brain what safety feels like, learning follows.
What Schools Want
Every leader wants learning to feel good and work well — for students and teachers.
Schools want classrooms where:
✔ Students are engaged and ready to learn
✔ Teachers feel supported, not stretched
✔ Behaviour improves without constant escalation
✔ Routines create calm instead of chaos
✔ Wellbeing isn’t an add-on — it’s embedded in the day
✔ Learning grows through connection and curiosity
Academic progress + human wellbeing
You shouldn’t have to choose one over the other.
FAQS
We don’t have time for another program. We’re already stretched — how do we fit this in?
You don’t add anything new — you weave small shifts into what you already do. Our routines work inside teaching time: transitions, group work, lining up, handing out books. When regulation is built into the day, behaviour management reduces, giving you more time for actual teaching.
We’ve tried SEL before and it didn’t stick. How is this different from other wellbeing programs?
Most programs teach SEL as a lesson, separate from the moments where stress shows up. We focus on the brain systems behind behaviour — and support them in real time so skills actually transfer. No one-off lessons. No posters gathering dust. Just daily habits that build a calm culture.
Our teachers are overwhelmed — is this more work?
No. In fact, it’s designed to reduce stress, not increase it. Teachers report fewer disruptions, smoother transitions, and more connection — which means less time managing behaviour and more time for meaningful learning.
Can this work in schools without access to nature or special resources?
Absolutely. Nature helps, but the core strategies focus on relationships and co-regulation — things every classroom has. We support schools in all environments to create calmer, more connected days.
Your practical roadmap for the science and the strategies.
The Educator Guide explains why regulation and co-regulation matter in simple, human-friendly language and gives you a framework for how to support the brain in everyday learning and living. You’ll learn the core Needs & Gears that help brains feel safe, focused and ready to learn — for children and the adults who care for them.
Because supporting student brains starts with supporting the nervous systems of the people who lead, teach and love them.
About WiseLearn Education
I’m an educator with nearly 30 years of classroom experience, specialising in translating neuroscience into practical, everyday understanding for children and the adults who care for them.
My work supports calm, connection and creativity in real classrooms — not by adding more, but by helping educators and parents understand why behaviour and stress show up, and how small, integrated shifts can make a meaningful difference.
