Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose
Wow ! Thank you so much Louise for your support, encouragement and your kind words. The 'partner' piece is on ACEsConnection and at my blog, LucidWitness.com : "Peek Inside a Classroom: Jasmine". That piece primarily highlights hyperarousal and hyper-vigilance. Daun

Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose
I will certainly take a look at that. I'm wondering if you are considering coming to our conference in March?http://www.echoparenting.org/professional-services/conferences It's a national forum on trauma-informed schools and we were hoping that we could form some 'learning circles'. We have lots of experts who have applied to do workshops (people who usually train in this stuff) but we were also looking for practitioners to lead a circle to discuss challenges, best practices, etc. with no...

Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose
PPSS Louise, 1) Hmmm, well I am very honored by your invitation to the conferrence. It MAY be possible. The issue will be taking time away during the school year. However, my son is out there and it'd be great to incorporate some time with him .... Thinking (when would you need to know ?) 2) Wouild it be possible to post "Peek Inside" to your Facebook page?

Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose
What a good idea! We can indeed do that. Deadline for workshop applications has already gone (we are sending them to our illustrious Advisory Committee to select our line-up). Why don't you think about it and then let us know if it's a possibility. We could work something out... a break out room, or something.

Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose
Daun, I truly appreciated your blog - the depth of understanding and development of the reality of trauma inside our schools! I'm putting together a packet for my own public school system's Board of Education (3 members) whom I will meet with in November. I think this is a powerful example of what we need to see, and how we can help. Thank you so much. Brenda Gregory Yuen North Potomac, MD

Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose

Re: Peek Inside a Classroom: Jose
Louise, don't forget that "Peek Inside" is a two part series. "Jose" illustrates dissociation. The other part "Jasmine" illustrates hyperarousal / hypervigilance. Here http://lucidwitness.com/2015/0...-inside-a-classroom/

What an impressive job you all have done here, Dana. It's of enormous importance. Perhaps Jane Stevens has some idea about how to get this to every School Board in the state.

Re: Trauma Informed Schools—An Essential for Student & Staff Success, Part 3: The Holistic Approach
Excellent article. I would like to add the importance of a "trauma informed" approach in the wealthiest schools as well. These are often Boarding Schools full of international students who are very much at risk because, certainly in Canada, and until recently in Britain, and I assume in the US as well, there is almost no oversight. These children are at risk because English is their second-language, and their parents are far away and culturally/ linguistically not necessarily in a position...

Re: Educational Trauma
Great point often children are shown the hand of avoidance rather than the hand of compassion. Have you read up on this concept of sanctuary trauma?

Re: Educational Trauma
Thanks! No, I hadn't heard of Sanctuary Trauma. Thank you for mentioning it! Reminds me of Freyd's Betrayal Trauma . Yes, children need empathy and compassion.

Re: California's First Surgeon General: Screen Every Student for Childhood Trauma [nbcnews.com]
MN has required developmental screening for all 3-4-year-olds that is funded through the State, and implemented at the local level by the school districts, who utilize an interdisciplinary team of health care and educators. I have often thought that we could leverage this existing practice to better understand which children have experienced childhood trauma. This would give the receiving schools an opportunity to look at incoming classes of Kindergartners and better prepare their staff and...

Re: Graduations, non-linear paths, & the importance of getting started
Dreaming is a good thing, if it is followed up with setting goals to reach those dreams. That is called hope - "Ideas and Energy for the Future". It can be taught and learned, but through our cultural beliefs and values, not a through programs or mandates. Too many adults working with kids give up on them. We can not tolerate that from any of our workmates. We can create this culture if we choose to. Collective efficacy is a powerful tool.

Trauma and the role of school- based occupational therapists
I wanted to share with you an article I recently published in the Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools, and Early Intervention titled “Trauma and the role of the school-based occupational therapist”. It is about the important role school-based OT’s can play in addressing trauma, using a sensory-based approach, to support participation and engagement in education.

Trauma in the Classroom: How Educators Should Approach it and What Parents and Students Should Expect From Schools [newsstand.clemson.edu]
By Michael Staton, Clemson University College of Education, November 18, 2019 When students arrive at school, they don’t check their trauma at the door or ignore it. Considering the effect trauma can have on student learning, teachers can’t choose to ignore it, either. Trauma leads to learning problems, lower grades, suspensions, expulsions and even long-term health problems. Teachers are increasingly expected to identify and work with issues students bring to school, and based on related...

Trauma-Informed Classrooms: Calming Corners
In our trauma-informed classrooms blog post last week, we talked about choices. We mentioned the benefit of having a space in the room where a child can go to help them calm down and become regulated. While this has become increasingly common at the elementary level, we have found that this is a tool that can work for students of all ages. Even when we survey adults about the things that help them to calm down when they are upset, one of the most common answers we hear is that they want time...
