TIC in the classroom

HI Susan- wanted to be sure you know about ACEs in Education group on ACEs Connection? Lots of resources for introducing ACEs into the classroom (though mostly in elementary and high school).    Check out the resources available there but i do know that there are quite a few members of the ACEs Connection community that are from post-secondary schools and there is interest in creating a separate group on ACEs Connection for ACEs in Higher Education. Would that be of interest?

Hi Gail,

Thank you so much for this information as I am definitely interested and will check it out!

Hi Susan,

I concur with Gail's suggestion about the ACEs in Education group, and the resources listed there.

Since the World Health Organization (WHO) has an ACE screening tool (the WHO ACE International Questionaire - available in 100+ languages on the WHO website, with a User's Guide)-with more than 10 ACE 'categories';        and:              In 2000, I attended a "Grand Rounds" continuing education session at [then Dartmouth, now] Geisel Medical School, where an Epidemiologist reported: "52% of Detroit Metropolitan Area Schoolchildren met the [then] DSM-IV criteria for PTSD" [similar numbers are now being reported for Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Atlanta Schoolchildren-last I'd heard];        Might it help your Graduate Students, to ascertain if ACEs 'pre-dispose' one to develop PTSD [I'm told some US Military Recruiters are now using an ACE score to determine if Recruits are 'pre-disposed' to PTSD], ...... and if using the WHO ACE screening tool [it has more than the 8 or 10 types of ACEs the CDC/ Kaiser ACE study did]. Also taking the Resilience questionaire, too, might better prepare them for later "Clinical Supervision", or utilizing your existing classes may avail them the "Athenian Theater" benefit, too.

As an afterthought, the [September 2014] TED Talk video by Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris about ACEs may be an appropriate introduction to ACEs, for those students (and for communities where the students later present)...

Thank you Robert as that is a great idea to include Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, and the ACES Questionaire from WHO and the Resilience Questionaire! I am creating the presentation now and am including all...Thank you!

Hello Wonderful Community!

I am writing to see if anyone can recommend articles on integrating TIC in the classroom.  Many of my graduate students this year have disclosed experiencing PTSD and depression either from community violence and/or being veterans.

I will be presenting to Field Instructors (AKA supervisors)  who are supervising students who have experienced trauma and strategies to incorporate SAMHSA's guiding principles. I am hoping to find articles to forward on to the field instructors.

 

Thank you!

From a teacher:   Developmental trauma changes the architecture of the physical brain, ability to learn and social behavior. It impacts 2 out of 3 children, but I wasn't even sure what it was…

From a teacher:  

"Standardized learning" and synchronized timing are in direct conflict with academic equity.

Developmental trauma is one example of the inequity.  It affects 2 out of 3 students.

Thank you Daun as this is a powerful site!

Dear Susan,

Here are a few articles that address the issue of  teaching students with a history of trauma in higher education

http://www.socialjusticesoluti...cial-work-education/

http://tmt.sagepub.com/content/12/4/266.abstract

On Thursday we will be releasing a new Toolkit on our website about integrating trauma content into curricula of Higher Ed and it includes some information ont this topic too - we will post it on ACEs Connection

We have a couple of videos that might help

I have just finalized a presentation for the group of faculty members I teach online with for a college in Indiana. I too have many students disclose in the virtual classroom significant childhood and/or current trauma/adversity. These students find themselves struggling to be successful, and as faculty we can exacerbate the trauma. I have been using the techniques I have developed for years in my teaching with great success. I had one student who commented in the evaluation of my teaching: I have failed this class 2 times, but Dr. (Anthofer) Fialon wouldn't give up on me. She continued to connect with me in a way that I couldn't fail.

Wishing you well,

Cathy
