The Spectrum of Trauma-Savvy Practice (worksheet)

When examining building and district-wide practices, it is common for ratings in all four of the categories. The goal of this worksheet is to identify both your areas of strength as well as those areas still in need of improvement. As you reflect on each category and definition, there is a space provided to allow you to document your current practices either as an individual, building, or district with the ultimate goal of becoming trauma-invested. The book, Fostering Resilient Learners, presents case studies, research, stories, and practical, easy-to-implement strategies to help students living with trauma thrive in the classroom. The book includes strategies to help education professionals build strong relationships and create a safe space to enable students to learn at high levels, and adopt a strengths-based approach that helps professionals recalibrate how destructive student behaviors are viewed and to perceive what students need to break negative cycles.
