Val has been an educator since 1984 working her way up from para-educator to administration and everything in-between.Now, she teaches Brainology which focuses on deep relaxation to release stress and create a better learning environment,
For many teachers and students relaxing means zoning out in front of the TV after a stressful day; but, this does little to combat the damaging effects of stress.Breathing, specifically abdominal (belly) breathing can reduce heart rate and blood pressure while expanding lung and diaphragm.
BRAINOLOGY: A growth mindset that is where students “believe that intelligence is potential that can be can be realized through learning”.
