As a teacher, you confront the task of satisfying all of your pupils’ social and emotional needs. This is difficult enough for regular learners, but it is significantly more difficult for people who have undergone trauma or have mental health issues. Students who have been traumatized frequently present as difficult to engage and exhibit problematic conduct such as poor frustration tolerance, furious outbursts, or challenging social interactions. All of these actions obstruct teaching and learning. When a student has suffered trauma, he or she frequently spends the majority of the day in fight/flight/freeze mode, limiting their ability to study. Their visibly angry and unpleasant demeanor also disrupts the flow of the classroom, necessitating your time and attention. Traditional behavioral techniques to classroom management and a punitive attitude to punishment are just ineffective, regardless of how much time you invest on behavior charts or rewards for good behavior.

Dr. Bashant demonstrates how a trauma-informed strategy may significantly reduce problematic behavior, boost student engagement, and improve learning results. Finish this recording with new techniques, skills, and resources for reducing impulsiveness, violent conduct, and inattention in pupils while increasing their concentration, attention, and compassion. While this positive approach is critical for kids who have experienced trauma, it will also benefit every student in your classroom. Return to your school with the following items:
