Lauren Spigelmyer
Hey, that's me, Lauren - a teacher who stopped reacting to the daily fires of my classroom and started preventing issues instead so I could enjoy teaching. At the beginning of each school year, when I ended up with the most challenging class (inevitably happened EVERY year), I accepted that this was the hand I was dealt and focused on getting through the next nine months. I asked colleagues what was working for them, I went to conferences, scoured Pinterest and requested help from the administration…but nothing was actually solving the problem.
I was dreading going into work, giving myself a pep talk every morning so I could walk into the building. I was stressed out, overwhelmed and frustrated. I began studying neurobiology and experimenting with those techniques, which got instant results. Other teachers noticed, asked what I was doing, and started implementing the same techniques and strategies in their own classrooms. Word spread like wildfire. Today, I coach teachers just like you to get the results you want for your own classroom so you can enjoy teaching, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am not swimming in financial freedom. Can I really afford this course?
A: The cost of this course is less than an educational conference. Those are certainly always informative, but investing in this program will give you the ability to implement small changes that get you big results, FAST. While this is a small investment to consider seriously and discuss with your family and/or admin, I suspect continuing to struggle throughout another year is what you really can’t afford. Plus, you get expert support from yours truly (conferences don’t give you that)! #answersfast
Q: There’s so much on my plate right now with being in the educational field. Do I have the time to take this course?
A: It takes about 10-12 hours to fully complete the modules in this course. You can watch the 3- to 9-minute video lessons and complete the action steps any time, on your own schedule. By making these small shifts, you should expect to gain hours in your day, so you can finally do things for yourself like friends nights or weekend trips! #FREEDOM
Q: I need PD hours. Will I get a certificate for this course?
A: Sure - happy to send proof of hard work your way, but the certificate you’re really going to want is the trauma-invested program completion certificate. You’ll get that if you complete all 5 courses in The Behavior Hub’s online school. Can you imagine the possibilities with that type of background and knowledge? So many schools looking for trauma and behavior certified educators. #endlesspossibilities
Q: Our school is virtual. Is this content still relevant?
A: Knowing that many schools are going virtual, I designed this course and content to be used across settings. So, you may not be in a classroom full of kiddos, but changing your responses to behavior on screen or sharing tips with students and families is going to change everyone’s behavior and ability to maintain focus.
The real benefit comes with the expert and peer support within the course and in the private FB group. This added support will help guide the modifications needed for each setting. The sooner you join this family, the sooner you can feel the benefits of brain-based teaching and learning!
