Brendan,
Great, great question!
The section at the end of the link below about components of trauma-informed schools (I agree with Cathy above re training everyone in the whole school) may help ? or are you looking for more specific classroom management programs?
Some key components would be: a) whole-staff training in identifying 'triggers' to be able to sometimes head off escalation. This could include teaching students about "Safety Plans". When it's too late, the student is already triggered, b) having pre-planned(with student) de-escalation procedure(s). When they don't work, c) having support in the organization for a (pre-planned) site (outofclassroom) to allow student, as quickly as possible, to take a walk/descalate.
I will put together a more detailed blogpost at LucidWitness.com :-)

Developmental trauma changes the architecture of the physical brain, ability to learn and social behavior. It impacts 2 out of 3 children at some level, but I didn’t even know what it was…
