Lisa Ann Peters is an award-winning PhD researcher at the Institute for the Science of Early Years and Youth, University of East London. With over eight years of experience in education, her research examines how predictable routines, rhythms, and repetition influence young children’s learning, attention, and well-being. Using modern techniques such as head-mounted cameras, heart-rate variability monitoring, and detailed classroom observations, she explores how small, practical changes, co-developed with teachers, may reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance learning outcomes, particularly for children facing disadvantage. Lisa’s work aims to bridge neuroscience and education, providing teachers with clear, evidence-based strategies to create calmer and more effective learning environments.
