The latest research and literature indicate that an individual's brain needs to be in a regulated/calm yet alert state in order for functional learning to take place. In other words, the student has to be In the Zone for Learning in order for higher order processes such as attention, reading, writing, critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning and decision-making to occur.
When curriculum and learning activities are delivered to a student who is not in an optimal state; the result can be increased anxiety, stress, challenging behavioural responses, non-participation and/or reduced engagement.
