Trauma Sensitive Schools: A tiered approach to improving student behavior

Brief summary of the day  Keynotes focus on ACEs study, physiology and neurology of the brain and impact of trauma on behavior. Participants would gain basic understanding of the brain science of reactivity and stress, how staff can prevent and intervene with students showing distress. Participants would learn behavioral components such as communication cycles, impact vs intent, function of (mis)behavior, stress and coping mechanisms and how school-wide behavioral supports can allow students to better access instruction through mindful approaches.
