What is Behavior Rewired?
Together, we’ll explore how the B.R.A.V.E. Framework makes complex brain science easier to use with staff. This shared language helps teams respond with more steadiness and care, so Tier 1 practices hold firm and more students get the support they need.
Behavior Rewired is designed for lasting impact, giving you the confidence and clarity to sustain real change in your school community.
and ready-to-use resources.
I love love love ALL THE RESOURCES and ways to use the resources. It makes it so much more adjustable to so many different levels.
- Roberta Wright, School Social Worker (MI)
Behavior Rewired Level 1 participant
“You changed my life.”
That’s what one teacher said after learning just a fraction of what we cover in Behavior Rewired Level 1.
“I grew up in a family that didn’t talk about emotions. We hear all this stuff for our students, but I realize I need it too. The way you put the brain into animals…yeah. You changed my life.”
“I grew up in a family that didn’t talk about emotions. We hear all this stuff for our students, but I realize I need it too. The way you put the brain into animals…yeah. You changed my life.”
That’s what one teacher said after learning just a fraction of what we cover in Behavior Rewired Level 1.
School leadership goes far beyond teaching staff to manage student behaviors.
When educators truly understand the brain-behavior connection, they stop feeling like they’re constantly reacting. That teacher went back to her classroom with a new lens, not just for her students, but for herself and her colleagues too.
These small changes create ripple effects—through classrooms, schools, families, and even generational patterns.
This is the power of the B.R.A.V.E. framework.
This is the power of Behavior Rewired.

I had the pleasure of attending Behavior Rewired in Philadelphia, and I wanted to reach out personally to say how deeply your work resonated with me. The way you broke down what could have been very complicated neuroscience into actionable insights that are able to be understood by children and educators was amazing. I can't say enough about how excited I am to have this information!

_
- Explain the B.R.A.V.E. Framework and why behavior is a brain thing.
- Teach brain-based concepts to staff with confidence and clarity.
- Recognize common protective brain responses and guide staff in responding effectively.
- Use brain-based language to foster staff buy-in and reduce resistance.
- Apply practical tools from the Trainer Toolbox to real-world school scenarios.
- Create a realistic plan to sustain behavior change in your school or district.
Level 2 builds on this foundation with advanced practice, troubleshooting, and implementation support. Participants who stay will:

- Explore tools for supporting staff who remain stuck in protection mode.
- Strengthen implementation with classroom-ready resources and planning labs.
- Build confidence leading this work across grade levels and school contexts.
What is the B.R.A.V.E.
Framework?
What is the B.R.A.V.E. Framework?
The B.R.A.V.E. Framework is a transformative approach designed to help educators understand and respond to student behavior through the lens of brain science. Developed by BraveBrains founder Jessica Sinarski, LPCMH, it integrates trauma-informed neuroscience with relatable language and powerful visuals.
The acronym B.R.A.V.E. stands for these 5 key principles:
- B: Behavior is a brain thing.
- R: Relationships build brains.
- A: Ask: which team is running things?
- V: Validate the brain's protectors.
- E: Elevate: keep climbing upstairs.
This framework gives teams a shared language to reduce confusion, strengthen connection, and create real change in how schools respond to behavior.
_
Is it evidence based?
Behavior Rewired™ is grounded in the latest neuroscience and child development research. It’s a scientifically-backed approach that bridges theory and practice. Educators and schools using the framework report improvements in staff morale, student behavior, and schoolwide consistency.
