Reply to "Research on ACE Scores in Teachers?"

Hello Alma,

This will be a great research project. While I don't have any stats for you, I can talk anecdotally that you will likely find high numbers. My colleague, Chris Swenson-Smith and I have taught approximately 700 local educators in the past several years on ACEs, how trauma commonly presents in the classroom, and trauma-informed schools (and vicarious trauma). Based on responses to these presentations, I think that you can expect high numbers. As is true in many of the child helping professions, those with high ACEs can gravitate to teaching. Many of those with high ACES found their significant adults/resiliency in teachers. Once your research is complete, I will be highly interested in reading and using your data.
