15. Sport, Music & Art: The Bedrock of Academics: Neurosequential Network Series on Stress & Trauma

This 28 minute clip provides the rationale for sport, music and art serving as the most effective framework for traditional academic learning. With some knowledge of how the brain actually processes and stores new incoming 'information', it becomes obvious that rhythm, movement, and relational interactions create the safe, predictable and enriched environments that will optimize cognitive acquisition of new information and recall of previously stored content. 'New' educational settings should take advantage of the powerful, pre-exisiting structures of art, music and sport to create safe and resilience-building learning environments.
