Description
We know education is not a level playing field. Those living with early adversity are starting school significantly less likely to complete their education than their peers who have things easier. When educators and schools understand childhood trauma, they are well placed to embed wellbeing practices into every interaction, and when those interactions are trauma-informed and trauma-responsive, students' lives are positively impacted in a deep and enduring way.
Safe to Learn offers readers an understanding of behaviour through the lens of trauma and adversity and provides practical strategies for primary schools and educators to become trauma-informed and responsive in a way that best supports all students, regardless of their life experiences.
Safe to Learn offers guidance for schools to introduce, or expand, a whole-school model of integrated wellbeing practice and support for individual teachers to learn how they can make a significant difference to their students. This book also provides the tools to identify which interventions may benefit a student or class and ideas for tracking and showing wellbeing growth.
