Reply to "Research on ACE Scores in Teachers?"

Hello, I am a new member to this forum as well and have had training in childhood trauma and its effects years ago. However, I  have seen firsthand a significant disconnection in K -12 teachers and their awareness of trauma-informed practices and just like you Alma, I am doing my MA thesis on these practices and teacher awareness to build curriculums in schools. I have found that the word trauma has a stigma to it in itself and therefore it alters an educators mind to think TRAUMA is not my specialty. Working in the education field for 20 years, I have seen that behaviors arise and students are 1) either sent to the principals office 2) suspended or 3) referred to the school psychologist, but in reality all three steps could have been avoided with a simple trauma-informed practice activity to build resiliency not only in the child with behavior issues but also for the whole class. There is an abundance of research on this topic I wish schools would change some policies and bring awareness to the importance of these practices in schools. I look forward to reading feedback from everyone.
