When we experience trauma, we may feel unsafe, betrayed, and have difficulty trusting others. This can lead to heightened anger or aggression, or a tendency toward shame, numbing, and isolation. This is especially true if the trauma happened in a relationship. (Relational trauma)

Blame is an ineffective request for empathy, for painful feelings and for understanding of unmet wants. The tragic part is that the form I have chosen to express my request almost guarantees its denial. ~ Kelly Bryson #NonviolentCommunication

Accommodations Through an ACE's Lens may be very helpful as students return to school following a year of virtual, hybrid or just "not knowing!" This does not replace an IEP or 504 but as a grade level, we can provide regulation and connection practices so that we are consistent!

Being informed about the trauma is one thing. Being responsive to that trauma is another.

Unhealed trauma will have you projecting your trauma onto others and hurt those who didn't hurt you.

“Re-traumatization is any situation or environment that resembles an individual’s trauma literally or symbolically, which then triggers difficult feelings and reactions associated with the original trauma. The potential for re-traumatization exists in all systems.”

Many of our young people come to our schools from a background of Adverse Childhood Experiences. Lets not get stuck on their behaviour but instead ask ourselves,what are the causes and conditions that are leading to this behaviour?.

Normalize lovingly redirecting students whose behaviours are not appropriate, instead of punishing them

Instead of asking ,what is wrong with you?. Try asking, what has happened to you?. What is their behaviour communicating?.

Was curious how the racial composition of DOE students compared to the demographics of the city in 2010 vs. 2020. Looks like, on the whole, the DOE is slightly more racially representative of the city in 2020 than it was a decade earlier.

Struggling kids don’t make it because they are in the right class. They make it because they have the right teacher. This year… you can be that teacher.

Students with strong developmental relationships with teachers are 2.5X as likely to work hard and 2X as likely to see a future for themselves in their communities. As the school year begins, learn about the impact of student-teacher relationships. Source: Search Institute

This conversation with @seanilling and @kevincarey1 triple-underlines the importance of data. Students & families need more information, but also the right information to make informed choices about education after high school. vox.com/policy-and-politics/…
