relational neurosciences as it applies to education by integrating the
Applied Educational Neuroscience framework, and its learning principles and
practices into her coursework at Butler. The Applied Educational
Neuroscience Certification, created by Lori in 2016, is specifically designed
to meet the needs of educators, counselors, clinicians and administrators who
work beside children and adolescents who have, and are, experiencing adversity
and trauma. The certification is now global and has reached hundreds of
educators. Lori’s articles are published in Edutopia, Brain
Bulletin, and Mind Body Spirit international magazine. She was also
published in the Brain Research Journal for her work in the fifth-grade
classrooms during a course release position with Washington Township Schools.
Lori continues her work co-teaching in the K-12 schools integrating her applied
research into classroom procedures and transitions preparing the nervous system
for learning and felt safety. Lori is the author of 4 books. Her
most recent book, Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions
of Discipline was released in late 2020. Her new book will
be published in January, 2023 entitled, “Intentional Neuroplasticity, Our
Educational Journey Towards Post Traumatic Growth.”
Lori has met with well over 100 school districts across the country, in Canada,
