Does Eric Jensen's Brain Based Learning Align with Trauma Informed Approaches?

Hi all,

I'm working with a school where someone is strongly advocating that the next school-wide training they receive be this Brain Based Learning Training. I'm not familiar with it so wanted to see if anyone here was and if you thought it aligned with TI principals. It sounds like he incorporates strategies for reducing stress in the classroom, and that he takes a universal environment approach to reach all students but it's hard to gauge from the website, which frankly seems very sales-oriented. The teachers have received a number of trauma informed concepts trainings and are now clamoring for some concrete classroom-oriented examples and strategies, which is why this came up. I'd appreciate any thoughts or insights you might have, including other suggestions for already developed classroom strategies trainings.

Here's a link: http://www.jensenlearning.com/...rain-based-research/

Thanks,

Maureen
