Trauma-Informed Practices Benefit All Students
“Students who have been impacted by trauma carry a very heavy load and operate at a continual high level of stress. For most, their trauma wasn’t a one time incident...it didn’t happen overnight. It happened and continues to happen on a perpetual and long-term basis. Many of our students experienced years of toxic stress in toxic home environments that shifted them into living every moment of everyday in survival mode. Their new “normal” is fear, reactivity and failure. This is how they have survived. It is all they know. The result is that their brains are wired for fear...their brains are not “bad” and their reactivity isn’t necessarily “wrong”. They are products of their environments. They have survival brains and that’s how they enter their classroom every day.Tantrums, Tears, and Tempers: Behavior Is Communication
