🧠 Rewire Your Classroom: Summer Institute 2025

A 3-Day Immersive Experience for Educators Ready to Transform How They Teach

🔥 Why This Institute Is Different

We get it—Professional Development often means sitting in a room, listening to someone talk at you about something you can’t use by Monday.

Not here.

The Rewire Your Classroom Summer Institute is a three-day interactive journey where you’ll explore the neuroscience behind behavior, motivation, and learning—and leave with the tools to apply it immediately.

This is PD that goes deep, feels real, and makes lasting change.

“This shifted everything for me. I walked away with real tools, real clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose.”
— Past Attendee, 2024

🧩 What You’ll Learn

Each day is packed with research-backed content, collaborative workshops, and hands-on learning. You’ll move between absorbing new concepts and applying them in real time with your peers.

Day 1: Behavior, Belief & Brain Basics

  • MTSS through a Neural Lens

  • Genetics & Epigenetics in Learning

  • Why Disruption Is a Signal, Not a Problem

  • Rethinking Maslow for the Modern Classroom

Day 2: Long-Term Potentiation in Practice

  • LTP, IEPs, and the Neurobiology of Retention

  • The Learning Brain’s Anatomy: Calcium, Glutamate & More
