Emerald Studies in Trauma-Informed Education - Böcker

Trauma-Informed Educational Leadership, part of the Emerald Studies in Trauma-Informed Education series, is a new development in the field of educational leadership and specifically addresses educational leadership through the lens of trauma- informed educational practice. It is the first research to document work with leaders over time as they undertook the complex work to bring about changing their schools from trauma-impacted to trauma-informed.The research is drawn from four Australian schools (secondary, primary and special education) in suburban areas that experience high levels of financial and social disadvantage and low levels of educational achievement. The authors research with school leaders has resulted in suggested key leadership practices for implementing trauma-informed strategies, embedded supports for upskilling and supporting staff to sustain trauma-informed education, and incorporating the mindset of a trauma-informed leader working towards student achievement and equity within their communities. The authors explore how school leaders can support teachers to change their practice in the classroom, how they can move their schools from undertaking professional learning in trauma-informed positive education (TIPE) to then implementing, maintaining and growing a positive trauma-informed culture in their schools and what leadership practices are pivotal to bringing about change.

Trauma-Informed Higher Education: Fostering Systemic Change Across Disciplines showcases how higher education, infused with trauma-informed practices, has the potential to foster social justice and contribute to social change by integrating a nuanced understanding of trauma into curriculum, pedagogy, research, and organisational structures in higher education.The contextualisation of trauma-informed practices within Australian higher education settings is a distinctive aspect of this exploration. Each chapter explores cultural, social, or institutional dynamics unique to the Australian context, offering insights that are tailored to the specific needs and challenges within this educational landscape, yet at the same time offers valuable insights to the international community. Ultimately, this book is a beacon for those committed to cultivating educational and organisational practices that honour the lived experiences of students and staff. Trauma-Informed Higher Education: Fostering Systemic Change Across Disciplines provides a practical roadmap for implementation of specific trauma-informed practices in higher education across diverse disciplines, appealing to academics from various fields looking to integrate research findings into their teaching methodologies and curriculum development. Higher education staff with a commitment to social justice and equity in education will find this book particularly appealing as it explores how trauma-informed practices can contribute to dismantling systemic inequalities and effect societal change.

The area of trauma-informed positive education (TIPE) is a recently emerging field in educational studies. Schools serving communities contending with educational inequity have many students identified as trauma-affected, with significant unmet learning and social emotional needs.This groundbreaking study and first book in the Emerald Studies in Trauma-Informed Education series is the first longitudinal research in trauma informed positive education, and the first research to link the professional learning and ongoing implementation of TIPE pedagogical practices to changed student perceptions of school and collective teacher efficacy over a four-year period.Providing examples of how schools implement TIPE and using case studies from two schools that were experiencing difficulty with their delivery of learning and wellbeing outcomes for students, the authors explore how implementing TIPE pedagogical practices can bring about school change. There is a focus on student wellbeing, collective teacher efficacy and assisting students to be ready to learn. The case studies that are explored will be of interest to school practitioners and system leaders working with students who are are not yet ready to learn and disengaged from school.
