Do you routinely share—and exchange ideas about—what's working with a traumatized student? How could you better improve lines of communication across the whole support team?

Think about one of your students who struggles with behavior. How could you help him "switch the channel" when he is upset?

What small changes are you willing to try in your classroom to foster a sense of safety among traumatized students?

Reflection Questions

https://smiadviser.org/knowledge_post/what-does-it-mean-to-be-trauma-informed

"When teachers encounter a student’s stress reaction, they experience their own stress reaction. Sometimes the over or under activation of the teacher’s physiological state serves to either heighten or dampen the collective state of the class. This phenomenon undermines teachers’ relational connections with their students. It can also fuel vicarious trauma and/or burnout for the teacher. The Regulated Classroom© helps to diminish the likelihood and frequency of these occurrences."

Stress

Positive Stress

A brief increase in heart rate, intensified focus, mild elevation in stress hormone levels.Example: Meeting new people.

Tolerable Stress

Serious but temporary stress response manageable due to positive, buffering influences or relationships.Example: A marriage in the family

Toxic

Intense prolonged activation of stress response systems without positive, buffering influences or relationships.Example: Abuse, neglect or addiction

According to the Readiness and Emergency Management Systems for Schools, everyone has a baseline level of resilience that is the result of their inate characteristics.

• Exposre to others distress can be challenging to educators and other school personnel.
• Building or enhancing resilience is the antidote to compassion fatigue.
