December Brain-SET Masterclass
Create learning environments that help young children feel safe, regulated, connected and ready to learn.
Join Dr Kathryn Murray, creator of the Brain-SET Environments Formula®, for four practical online sessions on how the developing brain shapes behaviour and learning, and how purposeful changes to your environment can support it.
See your learning environment through the lens of the developing brain
Understanding the brain is at the heart of Brain-SET. Across four practical online sessions, Dr Kathryn Murray shows how brain development, behaviour and learning environments connect, and how purposeful changes to your space can support children's engagement, self-regulation, play and learning.

Feel safe & regulated

Dr Kathryn Murray's Brain Set Masterclass challenged me to think differently about the influence one person can have on a room's atmosphere and environment. I now know that the energy, mindset, and physical space educators create can significantly shape the experiences of the children in our care.

A key moment of reflection came in the Kookaburras Pre-Prep class when I got down to the children's eye level by sitting on a scooter board. Dr. Kathryn said the way we think about the room would change. Seeing the room from the children's perspective gave me a completely different view and focus on how the environments influences the way the brain responds.
The training was beautifully delivered including the clarity, pacing and visual presentations. I appreciated the opportunity to ask questions as we went along. The length of the sessions was “just right”.
