Description
Academic success is the goal of any educator. However, one of the current challenges educators face is helping students feel safe and ready to learn so they can be successful in the classroom. Teacher education programs have traditionally focused on developmentally appropriate behaviors, pedagogy, and effective classroom management techniques. However, there is an ever-growing need in schools to better support students who have experienced traumas.
The Becoming Trauma Responsive documentary and subsequent eBook companion was developed to serve as a practical guide and a small dose of professional development on applying neuroscience and a trauma-responsive lens with practical ideas for implementation.
This eBook provides a quick overview of trauma, how it impacts students and children, and what can be done to better understand and support the needs of students and individuals impacted by trauma. To be as inclusive as possible, all educators, mental health providers, and caregivers are acknowledged by using the term “helpers” to identify those who are interested in supporting children in grades P-12.
