Making the 80% Count: What is Trauma and Why it Matters

11/17/2016

1 Comment

 
Children who encounter frightening experiences of abuse and neglect, are often challenging to support in schools.  They take up a lot of time of the teachers and school administrators, who become frustrated and defeated.  A trauma-informed approach to supporting students requires an understanding of how trauma impacts children and their capacity to learn and engage in the school community. It presents teachers with new opportunities to intervene and make a lasting difference in the student's life. In this post, I present you with my experience of learning about child trauma and implementing trauma-informed strategies in schools.

Brain Breaks in the Classroom

When presented with new material, standards, and complicated topics, we need to be focused and calm as we approach our assignments. We can use brain breaks and focused-attention practices to positively impact our emotional states and learning. They refocus our neural circuitry with either stimulating or quieting practices that generate increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, where problem solving and emotional regulation occur. A brain break is a short period of time when we change up the dull routine of incoming information that arrives via predictable, tedious, well-worn roadways. Click on the button below to read a article by Edutopia on the various strategies and types of brain breaks!

The Science of Child Neglect

11/3/2016

0 Comments

 

Extensive biological and developmental research shows significant neglect—the ongoing disruption or significant absence of caregiver responsiveness—can cause more lasting harm to a young child's development than overt physical abuse, including subsequent cognitive delays, impairments in executive functioning, and disruptions of the body's stress response. This edition of the InBrief series explains why significant deprivation is so harmful in the earliest years of life and why effective interventions are likely to pay significant dividends in better long-term outcomes in learning, health, and parenting of the next generation. This 6-minute video provides an overview of The Science of Neglect: The Persistent Absence of Responsive Care Disrupts the Developing Brain, a Working Paper from the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child.
