Description: "This book is for teachers and those preparing to be teachers. It explores the actions that teachers can take to provide students an opportunity to continue learning while also addressing the trauma they have experienced. This is not a book for counselors, though they, too, will find it helpful in counseling teachers regarding classroom trauma-sensitive practices. Rather, this book is focused on the classroom teacher who provides student voice and allows students to become more active and engaged in their own learning by learning to discuss, write about, and engage in civic action. It also offers direction for how to create an emotionally safe classroom environment in which students find a refuge from trauma and a space in which to process events. The chapters will be very practical, focused on actions that teachers can take to facilitate learning while students also heal from their traumatic experiences"--
Review Quotes:
"In a time where we are more aware and informed on the impact of trauma on learning, brain development, and relational implications, a book such as Teaching Hope and Resilience for Students Experiencing Trauma, by Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Rachelle S. Savitz, is necessary for instructors at all levels."
