Update on the Compton lawsuit - please review my presentation

There was a lot of interest in the impact of the Compton lawsuit on trauma-informed education. 

Given so many requests for the PowerPoint, I thought it would be better if I just attached the presentation to this blog.

I love a bunch of eyes looking at things before I deliver them so I would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on the material. 

In addition, as mentioned previously, PESI is sponsoring the delivery of a full days worth of trauma-informed training through a video tape of my presentation in New York. 

They are planning to have me on the road next fall with locations to be determined. If this generates enough registrations they are willing to keep delivering it nationwide.

Here is the link for the DVD:

So please take a look at the attached PowerPoint and see what you think. Remember it is being delivered to a legal advocate audience not a clinical or educational audience.

Thanks 

Bob

 

 

 

 

As many of you are aware the lawsuit brought against the Compton Unified School District in reference to trauma informed education has created a lot of concern.

LRPInstitute sponsors a legal issues in special education conference every year. It is the biggest collection of special education lawyers in the country.

I am presenting a detailed analysis of the potential for the Compton lawsuit to move the trauma-informed education movement forward. 

here is a description of the presentation our team has put together.

The Potential Impact of Trauma on Special Education Policies
B2
Robert HullRobert Hull
Education Consultant, School Psychologist, Prince George’s County Public Schools, Md.
Data indicate that adverse events, including poverty and community violence, are often the primary cause of disruptive behavior disorders, emotional dysregulation, and students’ inability to perform well in school. Taking a trauma-informed approach is a method to address the achievement gap for these students. Indeed, recent legal activity, including P.P. v. Compton Unified School District, suggests that schools need to consider trauma histories when evaluating students for special education services. Consultant and school psychologist Robert Hull will focus on the importance of taking a whole-school approach to supporting students with a history of trauma. He will review the implications of trauma-informed care on special education assessment and programming and provide intervention strategies you can use in your district.
 
If you send a request I can send out the PowerPoint after April 25th

Bob, thank you for sharing your powerpoint. It is every informative.  Here are some suggestions.

You may want to include mention of youth caregiver support and education on slides 24 and 26 (see: https://acestoohigh.com/2014/0...etimes-just-parents/

On slide 24: An emphasis on focusing on thriving and flourishing; that would mean enabling nurturing connections, finding meaning in learning, have optimism/growth mindset (which can be learned).  This  RWJ/Child Trends Paper made a strong case for focusing on wellbeing: http://www.rwjf.org/en/library...-children-well-.html

On Slide 16, there are several tools to measure resilience:

I wondered whether pro-social thoughts, emotions and behaviors, could be related to "optimism" and "growth mindset", as that leads into pro-social thoughts, and there are validated measures and tools?

I would also like a copy of the power point.  I keep our little school informed on Trauma Informed Care and there is so much to know and anything I can share with them is helpful.  Thank YOU!!

Hi, Robert -- With all the interest in your PPT, perhaps you could do another post about it, and we'll include it as a resource in ACEs in Education.

Or you can add it to this post, make a note at the top, and update the publication date on the blog post to the day you're updating.

I would love to receive a copy of the PowerPoint to jgibbs@twoeagleriverschool.org. I have been following your blog and believe a trauma-informed system is imperative to the health and wellbeing of our at-risk population. Thank you in advance for the information.
