In order to succeed in school, students fundamentally need to feel safe and connected—particularly when chronic stress at home, in the community, or at school make it difficult to learn. This book explains practical ways to infuse schools with trauma-informed and culturally responsive (TICR) practices that can foster compassionate relationships, promote the well-being of students and educators alike, and unlock students’ academic and social–emotional potential. Isaiah B. Pickens provides a wealth of tools for implementing TICR strategies in classroom instruction, multi-tiered systems of support, school safety planning, and professional learning. In a convenient large-size format, the book is packed with case examples, checklists, activity guides, templates for assessment, and best-practice resources. The companion website offers 39 reproducible and downloadable handouts.
This title is part of The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
