In today’s episode, we look at ‘Survival Strategies and Trauma Informed Classrooms’.
In this week’s episode we discuss ‘Survival strategies and trauma informed classrooms’. For children who have experienced trauma, learning can be a big struggle. Often students are misdiagnosed with anxiety, behaviour disorders or attention disorders, rather than understanding the trauma that’s driving those symptoms and reactions.
A trauma-informed classroom recognises that when a child misbehaves or acts out in class or just simply won’t work, their behaviour may have nothing to do with being naughty. In fact, their behaviour may have nothing to do with the teacher or the classroom at all. We consider how we can embrace this approach, whilst still maintaining high standards and expectations in our lessons.
