Stop trauma in its tracks, address disruptive behaviors, and create a safe and nurturing school environment with a neuroscience-based approach in your classroom."Here we are given a gift that will keep on giving for generations to come."—Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times best-selling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and Parenting from the Inside OutMore than 32 million children in the US suffer from trauma symptoms. Some have had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), like neglect, abuse, violence, and loss, or have experienced distress from medical trauma and social injustice. Toxic traumatic stress shapes the structure and function of both brain and body, which can lead to anxiety, hyperactivity, aggression, shutting down, and acting out--emotions and behaviors that hinder learning and create classroom chaos.Maggie Kline, a family therapist, trauma specialist, school psychologist, and former teacher, gives you whole-brain, heart-centered tools to identify and reverse trauma-driven behaviors so students feel supported and safe. Her unique roadmap will empower you to facilitate positive school-wide outcomes as you learn:How trauma alters kids' brains causing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challengesEvidence-based somatic, relational, and mindfulness interventions to rewire reactivityHow to manage Pre-K-12 classrooms to promote empathy, cooperation, and belongingSocial equity practices so kids from all backgrounds feel safe, valued, and joyfulConcrete steps to restore resilience following natural and man-made catastrophes

Stop trauma in its tracks, address disruptive behaviors, and create a safe and thriving environment with a neuroscience-backed approach to running your classroom.More than 32 million children in the US have experienced at least one type of trauma. While some are obvious, like poverty, abuse, or migration, other experiences that may be invisible or "no big deal" to adults can elicit trauma responses in kids. Under these conditions, their brains and bodies react differently than those of unaffected peers, causing anxiety, hyperactivity, aggression, shutting down, and acting out--behaviors that hinder academic success and disrupt the entire classroom.When mental and emotional health are prioritized in the classroom as much as academic performance, everyone wins--and when you apply a trauma-informed lens to your teaching, you''ll facilitate positive outcomes for the entire class. The Trauma-Responsive Classroom gives you the tools to understand, identify, and address trauma-driven behaviors so students feel comfortable, supported, and safe at school--and you feel empowered and effective.Supported by evidence-based tools and neuroscience-backed ideas, you''ll learn a whole-brain approach to trauma-informed teaching, including:  •  How trauma rewires kids'' brains, and how that shows up in the classroom  •  How to integrate trauma-informed practices and social-emotional learning into your curriculum and classroom management  •  Trauma-sensitive concepts, relational skills, and somatic interventions  •  How to build inner stability and create feelings of safety, connectedness, competence, and joy<
