I thought this was a very helpful document for families--you can share with your kids teachers/schools.
NCFA Releases Adoption
Advocate No.
75 | Creating Trauma-Informed Classrooms
With another school year beginning, it is important for
teachers and school administrators to understand the impact of trauma, abuse,
neglect, and other risk factors in a child's history that can affect his or her
ability to learn and feel safe and connected in the classroom. In the September
2014 issue of NCFA's Adoption Advocate, co-authors Casey Call,
Karyn Purvis, Sheri R. Parris, and David Cross share the results from different
schools employing Trust-Based Relationship Intervention® (TBRI®), and emphasize
the power of safe, nurturing relationships in the classroom—particularly
for children from "hard places."
The Adoption
Advocate is a monthly publication
created by NCFA to educate policymakers, families, child welfare specialists,
and other interested parties on today's most relevant child welfare and
adoption issues.
