Reply to "Research on ACE Scores in Teachers?"

Teachers and their own ACEs score... very relevant. Have you heard of the Badass Teachers Association? Please find us (we have a blog and very very active FB groups)... We started work on workplace bullying in October, 2014, after we learned of four teachers who took their lives in less than ten days. Since that first secret conference call between several deeply hurting teachers, and Randi Weingarten (President of the American Federation of Teachers), we have developed a grass roots Quality of Work life Survey and much more  (naysayers said it was too long - 82 items- but 90,000 started it and 31,000+ finished it. It got national coverage in May, 2015.

Next, two US senators co-authored an amendment in ESSA- as a result, local district/communities can now access Title II funds and look at their school community’s work/school life. 

Then, we met with senior USDOE advisors and shared the first QWL survey/results. There literally were tears in the conference room after we presented... 

Now? Our second survey was conducted with AFT, BATs, and CDC/NIOSH participation. Our QWL team now has many academics/researchers along with teachers who are really interested in mental health. 

Please connect. This could be something that could help teachers, school board members, administrators and communities.
