Trauma-Informed Teaching and Leading in Action

Childhood trauma is one of the most extensive and invisible factors affecting students and their learning. A sensitive learning environment, in which educators are attuned to students' life experiences and intervene to support self-regulation and coping skills, has positive implications for all students' success.


Features

The Private Logic Behind a Trauma-Informed Mindset

Jason A. Haap

Students who have experienced trauma often have an unconscious set of beliefs that can impact their behavior. As educators seek to counterbalance this negative thinking, they must reframe students' private logic, too.

How Leadership Principles Can Relieve Trauma

Lihi Rosenthal and Iracema Hromnik

A stressed brain can't learn. Six principles can support teachers and leaders in meeting the needs of trauma-affected youths.

5 Essential Trauma-Informed Practices for Remote Learning

Debbie Zacarian, Lourdes Alvarez-Ortiz, and Judie Haynes

As the COVID-19 pandemic upends communities worldwide, trauma-informed practices to support students who have experienced childhood trauma are more urgent than ever.

Coaching to Combat Secondary Traumatic Stress

Howard Yank and Maika Yeigh

When educators experience secondary traumatic stress, it creates systemic problems for teaching and learning. Instructional leaders can offer support and coping strategies when issues arise.

Yoga and Mindfulness Tools for Managing Trauma

Julia Handelman and Rodney Harrelson

When mindfulness tools become a regular part of the school day, students have productive strategies to deal with stress and emotions.
