Therefore, the evidence in this brief includes a mix of findings from extant studies and learnings from expert researchers and practitioners who are actively working to implement practices in schools.  \n~~  ~~BREAKING~~ ~~DOWN~~ ~~THE~~ ~~ISSUE~~  ~~  \nTrauma disrupts the development of core cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral competencies that are needed to succeed in school.  \n Unaddressed trauma can show up as internalizing and externalizing behaviors. The externalizing behaviors can often show up as challenging behavior in school.  \n Trauma refers to the psychological, emotional, and spiritual wounds that are created by one or more events that overwhelm a person’s abilities to cope.  \n Students experiencing trauma often externalize their feelings of distress into oppositional behaviors that can be challenging for educators. These include aggression, defiance, attachment disruptions, relational mistrust, and emotional dysregulation. Challenging student behaviors  escalate when responded to with punitive and exclusionary discipline.  \n Students experiencing trauma can also internalize their f","cbCaihSYstZmNFEr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihSYstZmNFEr","pdf",478908,"English","# Central Question\n# Key Insights\n## Breaking Down the Issue\n## Strategies to Consider\n## Strategies to Avoid","[{\"question\":\"What central question does the brief address?\",\"answer\":\"What policies, procedures, and practices—paired with professional development—can prepare schools to meet the needs of students coping with trauma and toxic levels of stress?\"},{\"question\":\"How does trauma affect students’ readiness to learn?\",\"answer\":\"Trauma disrupts core competencies needed to succeed in school and can reduce students’ ability to benefit from rigorous instruction by keeping them out of a regulated “learning brain” state.\"},{\"question\":\"Which approaches are most effective for addressing trauma in schools?\",\"answer\":\"Whole-school (Tier 1) strategies are described as more effective than approaches that focus only on identifying individual students for secondary intervention, and a limited set of school-based Tier 2 trauma-focused interventions has shown effectiveness.\"},{\"question\":\"What strategies should schools avoid?\",\"answer\":\"The brief warns against placing the burden primarily on clinical staff (e.g., social workers and counselors) and against “one-shot” professional development that does not connect training to concrete strategies for how educators respond to students’ needs.\"}]","PREPARING SCHOOLS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS COPING WITH TRAUMA AND TOXIC STRESS - Brief No. 17 - May 2021 | PDF",1792047991,18]
