The Trauma-Sensitive Classroom: Building Resilience with Compassionate Teaching

Description: The Trauma-Sensitive Classroom by Patricia A. Jennings A teachers guide to recognising and responding to trauma-exposed students. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fully half the students in U.S. schools have experienced trauma, violence, or chronic stress. In the face of this epidemic, it falls increasingly to teachers to provide the adult support these students need to function in school. But most educators have received little training to prepare them for this role. In her new book, Tish Jennings-an internationally recognized leader in the field of social and emotional learning-shares research and experiential knowledge about the practices that support students healing, build their resilience, and foster compassion in the classroom. In Part I, Jennings describes the effects of trauma on body and mind, and how to recognize them in students behavior. In Part II, she introduces the trauma-sensitive practices she has implemented in her work with schools. And in Part III, she connects the dots between mindfulness, compassion, and resilience. Each chapter contains easy-to-use, practical activities to hone the skills needed to create a compassionate learning environment.

Review A major contribution of this work is the comprehensive nature of the information that Professor Tish Jennings draws together. Very few scholar-educators have done such a masterful job of connecting new findings in neuroscience with trends in sociology, psychology, education, and human development. . . . The Trauma-Sensitive Classroom will be of great interest and benefit not only to teachers, but to every professional working in schools.--Bob Planta, Dean, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia Review Quote "We all know that a teachers relationship with a student has the potential to inspire them for the rest of their lives. Those pupils whove experienced trauma in their homes or communities should have that same potential. This book will make it possible for every teacher to be that guiding light that can shine for a lifetime." Details ISBN0393711862 Author Patricia A.
