Biography
Tracie works to leverage neuroscience research and brain-based pedagogies as well as understandings of trauma, stress and mindfulness to create learning environments that both maximize student learning and promote social justice. She feels that developing a better understanding of the physiology of what is happening inside our own bodies and the bodies of our students during social transactions, makes us better able to ensure that we create more equitable learning opportunities for all students.
