About Trauma-Sensitive Schools For The Adolescent
Product Description The trauma-sensitive schools movement is the result of a confluence of forces that are changing how educators view students’ academic and social problems, including the failure of zero tolerance policies to resolve issues of school safety, bullying, and academic failure, as well as a new understanding of adolescents’ disruptive behavior. In this follow-up to her bestseller, Trauma-Sensitive Schools, Susan Craig provides secondary school teachers and administrators with practical ideas for how to improve students’ achievement by implementing a trauma-sensitive approach to instruction. Along with clear explanations of the role that childhood adversity and trauma play in determining academic success, readers will find dozens of concrete strategies to help them: View poor academic and social progress through a trauma-sensitive lens. Create a school climate that fosters safety and resiliency in vulnerable teenagers. Establish relationships with students that support their efforts to self-regulate. Design instruction that reflects the social nature of the brain. Work with the brain’s neuroplasticity to increase adolescents’ executive functioning. Reduce teacher attrition in high-risk schools by decreasing secondary traumatic stress. Influence educational reforms by aligning them with current research on childhood trauma and its effects on learning. Book Features: Provides an overview of the effects of three types of trauma on adolescent development: early childhood adversity, community violence, and systemic inequities. Links the effects of trauma on students’ cognitive development to educational reform efforts. Integrates research on adolescents’ neurodevelopment and current educational best practices. Builds the capacity of education professionals to successfully manage the behavior of adolescents with symptoms of complex developmental trauma. Review "Throughout the book, Craig provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the implications of the effects of early childhood trauma as well as the role a school can play in providing students with a safe environment in which to heal. Craig’s focus on the collaborative approach that TSS provides to the community is further evidence of the need of TSS, specifically with regard to addressing needs of marginalized students." ―Teachers College Record "Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, Trauma-Sensitive Schools for the Adolescent Years: Promoting Resiliency and Healing, 6-12 is impressively informative and should be considered critically important reading for all classroom teachers working in junior and senior high schools. An extraordinary contribution to the field, it is unreservedly recommended for college and university library Teacher Education collections in general, and Adolescent Special Needs supplemental studies reading lists in particular." ―Midwest Book Review Review “Susan Craig has done it again in this follow-up to Trauma-Sensitive Schools. If you’re an educator who’s curious about the science of adverse childhood experiences, about how the adolescent brain works and responds to trauma, about how kids’ trauma affects you, and about how this knowledge can help you be a better teacher, Trauma-Sensitive Schools for the Adolescent Years is a must-read book.”―Jane Ellen Stevens, founder, ACEs Too High About the Author Susan E.
