When classes start at Logan Elementary later this month, teachers and staff will have just completed new training designed to teach them how to support students affected by adverse childhood experiences thanks to a $35,000 grant from the Hagan Foundation.
“They fully funded the entire program,” said Logan Principal Brent Perdue.
The new training is the next step in years of studying the problem of childhood trauma and how it affects learning, Perdue said.
“We’ve been on this journey of becoming trauma informed,” he said. “The trauma kids go through changes their brain chemistry.”
