Understanding the effects of trauma on students, and how teachers can make a real and lasting difference, has never been more crucial. Here, mindfulness expert Patricia A. Jennings explains how resilience can be developed from within the classroom. This Guide offers three keys to compassionate and trauma-sensitive teaching:
- Helping students build supportive relationships with teachers and peers
- Supporting student empowerment, voice and choice by creating a safe and equity-centred learning environment
- Building upon strengths by supporting the development of self-regulation
With exercises for staying calm, focused and positive, this Guide helps both students and teachers cultivate resilience—inside and outside the classroom.
Each 8.5" x 11" multi-panel guide is laminated for extra durability and 3-hole-punched for binder storage.
