I'm very interested hearing from people that work in schools that are taking a trauma-informed approach. A large part of the job I recently left as a Behavior Strategist in a private special education school/ residential treatment facility was to work with staff on a trauma-informed (responsive) approach with the kids we served.
I really developed a passion for it and would love to continue working within that focus. When recently moving to Texas I was hoping to find something within an education environment where I could continue, but have had no luck yet.
It really does make so many of the behaviors that teachers find puzzling make more sense when seen through trauma-informed lenses. Unfortunately, unless a whole district is on board, like many of those Jane Stevens talks about on the west coast, it is likely delivered in a professional development (if at all) and those can be hit or miss depending on the interest of the learner.
Thank you for posting the question. I hope to read some responses.
