Fostering Resilient Learners by Implementing Trauma-Informed and Socially Just Practices
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v91 n9 p8-15 2020
Becoming trauma invested across P-12 educational systems has become exceedingly necessary over the past few years with much focus placed on the whole child and, more recently, a global pandemic and national systemic and institutional racism. With more and more students experiencing trauma and being at a constant state of toxic stress, it is imperative that health and physical education teachers are not only knowledgeable about the signs and symptoms but can engage in preventative measures to minimize possible triggers of past or current traumatic experiences they encounter. Due to lack of funding, licensed counselors are limited within schools, leaving teachers to navigate students' mental, social, and emotional behaviors and experiences. Yet, teachers are not trauma informed or invested due to the lack of emphasis in our teacher preparation programs and professional development opportunities. Thus, the purpose of this article is to inform health and physical educators on issues related to trauma, traumatic stress, the social inequalities and injustices that these students may encounter, and strategies on how to foster resilient learners in physical education and health.
