Trauma-Informed Teaching: Sparking Change in Schools
Description
Send us your thoughts about this week's episode!
As a teacher, when a student acts out or shuts down in your classroom, do you find yourself asking "what's wrong with this kid?" Trauma-informed teaching flips that question to "what has happened to this kid?" – a powerful shift that can transform your classroom environment and student outcomes.
Today's students bear burdens far beyond what children should handle. From personal traumas like abuse and neglect to collective traumas stemming from poverty, displacement, or systemic oppression, these experiences significantly impact how students show up in the classroom. What's crucial to understand is that trauma affects each child differently – what one student brushes off might deeply wound another.
In this week's episode, you'll learn the 5 key principles of Trauma-informed teaching, what Trauma-Informed teaching is, what it is not and ways that you can transform your classroom by incorporating the key principles.
Share this episode with teacher friends and administrators to advocate for comprehensive training that goes beyond one-day workshops. Together, we can create schools that serve not just as places to learn, but as spaces of healing and support where all students can thrive.
