Fostering Resilient Learners

Strategies for Creating a Trauma-Sensitive Classroom

By: Kristin Souers, Pete Hall

Narrated by: Ann Richardson

In this galvanizing audiobook for all educators, Kristin Souers and Pete Hall explore an urgent and growing issue - childhood trauma - and its profound effect on learning and teaching.

Grounded in research and the authors' experience working with trauma-affected students and their teachers, Fostering Resilient Learners will help you cultivate a trauma-sensitive learning environment for students across all content areas, grade levels, and educational settings. The authors - a mental health therapist and a veteran principal - provide proven, reliable strategies to help you:

• Understand what trauma is and how it hinders the learning, motivation, and success of all students in the classroom.
• Build strong relationships and create a safe space to enable students to learn at high levels.
• Adopt a strengths-based approach that leads you to recalibrate how you view destructive student behaviors and to perceive what students need to break negative cycles.
• Head off frustration and burnout with essential self-care techniques that will help you and your students flourish.
