At Wednesday afternoon meetings of the Creating Trauma Sensitive Arizona Schools work group, a committee of the Arizona ACE Consortium , the leader of a high-need, inner-city K-5 school frequently wept as she talked about the trauma her students carried into the classroom and the ways it percolated throughout her campus: in lagging test scores, behavior problems, even teacher retention. The other committee members became her...

Wisconsin state agencies end year one of trauma-informed learning community; goal is to be first trauma-informed state

Jane Stevens ·
Here in California, many people think that it’s only liberal Democrats who have a corner on championing the science of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and putting it into practice. That might be because people who use ACEs science don’t expel or suspend students, even if they’re throwing chairs and hurling expletives at the teacher. They ask "What happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?" as a frame when they create juvenile detention centers where kids don’t fight, reduce...

Change

Dr. Michelle Ned ·
How can we expect change if we’re not willing to move forward? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary (2024), change is described as the modification of a particular event or life experience. According to Biblegateway (2024), “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18.” How can we expect change if we’re not willing to move forward and break the endless cycle of dependence and stagnation? How can one develop long-lasting...
