Trauma-Sensitive Schools

Growing evidence supports the important relationship between trauma and academic failure. Along with the failure of zero tolerance policies to resolve issues of school safety and a new understanding of childrens disruptive behaviour, educators are changing the way they view childrens academic and social problems. In response, the trauma-sensitive schools movement presents a new vision for promoting childrens success. This book introduces this promising approach and provides K5 education professionals with clear explanations of current research and dozens of practical, creative ideas.
