Exploring Equity Issues: Introduction to Trauma-Informed Classrooms--Inclusive Learning Strategies for Educators
Nordhoff, Kaity
Center for Education Equity, Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium
Trauma is pervasive in schools and can threaten students, affecting their academic performance and opportunities for lifelong success. Educators must be careful they don't add to a student's trauma. School policies, including academic (e.g., tracking) and behavior (e.g., discipline), can carry implicit bias that can retraumatize a student. A trauma-informed approach encourages educators to recognize resilience in their students and continue to build on that resilience in the classroom. Rather than ask "What is wrong with you?" educators can ask "What has happened to you--and how can I help? In trauma-informed teaching, safety is the foundation for student success. Educators can use the everyday practices in this report to create safe and predictable learning environments. It is important to note, however, that multiple approaches will be needed due to the variety of traumatic experiences that student's face.
