Would you be willing to share the referral/request form? I would love to see the reflection and restorative questions you use.

Re: PAX Good Behavior Game- Is anyone using it?
Hi there, I've seen it introduced in a number of schools. I think that when practiced with fidelity it is equitable. I also think it can help promote some very good school skills. However it has also been my experience that educators rarely get the support that they need to continue doing it with fidelity. I encourage teachers to start slowly, and get support from the consultant as long as possible. I don't know about how it promotes resiliency. From my experience, it's mostly focused on...

Re: The Focus Room: A Calming, Welcoming Space to Restore Receptivity and Readiness to Learn
Thank you for expressing your interest Sara. Please see the two attached documents. We primarily focus on helping students reflect on their needs and their behavior, while helping them to also consider the needs of their fellow students, community members, and the learning environment in general. Please let us know if you would like more information. Thank you!

Re: Teaching Adult Wary Children and Youth
Please share a PSA link to help grow public awareness of the impacts of developmental trauma. There are so many of us who’ve never heard of the overpowering, life-long impacts. Click HERE for links designed to use in social media: https://lucidwitness.com/2016/...dex-to-lucidwitness/

Re: Taking ACEs to School: Trauma-Informed Approaches in Higher Education
This movement from "What is wrong with you" to "What happened to you" is such a great start. There is so much to be done. Working with current professionals in education, law enforcement, child welfare, medical and on and on is only the first step though. The study of ACEs science should be added to under graduate curriculum for any profession dealing with children or patients. As I think of this what about the text books at the high school level for psychology or sociology. Have any of...

Re: PAX Good Behavior Game- Is anyone using it?
Thanks for asking. I represent an Anti-Drug Coalition that is extremely interested in the PAX model. So I've signed up to catch all of the replies as we continue to train our school systems in ACES and TIC, and attempt to provide resources and next steps for them.

Re: Taking ACEs to School: Trauma-Informed Approaches in Higher Education
I'm hoping to connect with folks in higher ed. (community college education, in particular) who are interested in or currently using trauma lenses to help interpret big data (e.g. drop rates in dev. ed.). Also, because this site has so many resources, it's hard to find information for conferences, etc. Looks like there was one in 2016, but does anyone know if more are planned for 2017 and beyond? Thanks!

Re: Looking for Information about Trauma Informed Approaches to ALICE Training
It's unfortunate that this is even an issue. I'm not that familiar with working with children but would it be possible to adapt the same trauma-informed practices for teaching to active shooter drills? You might be the first to consider addressing trauma in this scenario. Here's to hoping you connect with someone who can give you some feedback. Best of luck.

Re: Looking for Information about Trauma Informed Approaches to ALICE Training
Thanks for the feedback. I was actually hoping to find a school district who had discussed this or had outlined a process to share with our school board and superintendent Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Trauma is Messy
As a teacher, keep in mind the great potential role of Theatre as enabling people to speak about the unspeakable: "Hey, I'm not talking about me! We're talking about what's up there on the stage." So, what if you were to ask a class if they've ever written a play. No? "So let's write a play today. Let's write a play, Hmm, let's write a play about someone who's growing up in a house where someone's getting hurt. What's his or her name? And where's the house: In town or out in the country? And...

Re: Trauma is Messy
Thank you, Jon. This article is so inspiring. I am sharing it as widely as I can on social media and sending it to teacher friends who are so desperate to help their kids succeed. I love how you have let the students work, as best you can, at their own pace and space. Kids are rushed so much, and every experience of being rushed is a little reminder that they aren't fast enough; good enough. Allowing choices takes a little pressure off. A little pressure relief in the form of movement from...

Re: Reframing Undesired Behaviors as an Aspect of Learning, not Punishment
Hello Nevin, This is so exciting to see! I hope there will be a replication of these programs. I am wondering how you prepare your staff to work in these programs? What is your model of supervision and evaluation? Do teachers know their own ACE score and stories? I look forward to hearing more! Jessie

Re: How Facial Expressions of Adults Affect Children
We are our children's mirrors , they reflect our moods and actions. Putting on a happy face is one skill we parents need to learn. It is tough but crucial for their mental well-being.

Re: Reframing Undesired Behaviors as an Aspect of Learning, not Punishment
Jessie, thank you for your questions. We conduct training and professional development specifically around Trauma Informed Practices. During this training we do allow our staff to assess themselves on the ACES survey as we discuss and process concepts and practices within the Trauma Informed framework . We also provide spaces for staff to share and reflect on their behavior and collaboration with our team and with students, in the context of developing deeper understandings of how our trauma...

Re: Embedding Trauma-informed Practices within Existing School-wide Practices
Yes... AND...With all due respect, I think we are asking for more really. It isn't about what it looks like, it is how it is lived. To do that we have to dig deep and think about the systems, even in education, that perpetuate the systemic inequities. We used to teach using praise and by making students "pay" or hurt (consequences). Now there are more effective tools to adopt. When we really dig deep, we must re-examine how to build relationships, inspire internally instead of externally -...

Hi, Drew: Thank you for your amazing, inspirational post!

Re: Trauma-Informed Instruction: The Regulated Classroom
Emily, I LOVE what you are offering! Do you only schedule training and workshops in Hancock NH? Would love to see this offered here in Maryland -- we have many public school systems who are working toward trauma-informed schools.
