TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES Considerations for Educators 1 3/11/2015 Reflection: Think, Write, Share “ A child whose behavior is creating issues is not trying to cause a problem. They're trying to solve a problem.” • American Journal of Pediatrics, November 1956 Considerations About Trauma • • • • • • Trauma is prevalent in the lives of children. Children often cannot verbally express their feelings about trauma. Trauma affects learning and school performance. Trauma causes physical and emotional distress. Trauma sensitive schools help children feel safe to learn. Schools have an important role to play in meeting the social/emotional needs of students. • What are some assumptions you have about the impact of trauma on youth development and behavior? • Please record your thoughts on the post-its. • Share with your table partners. What Makes an Experience Traumatic? • Overwhelming, very painful, very scary • Fight or Flight incapacitated • Threat to physical or psychological safety • Loss of control • Unable to regulate emotions Trauma is the response to the event, not the event itself. arozum@schoolhealthcenters.org ACE Study Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study • Collaboration between the CDC and Kaiser Permanente’s Health Appraisal Clinic in San Diego. • Study took place between 1995 and 1997, CDC still tracking the medical status of the baseline participants. • Retrospective approach examined the link between childhood stressors and adult health for over 17,000 adult participants. • Each participant completed a questionnaire that asked for detailed information on their past history of abuse, neglect and family dysfunction as well as their current behaviors and health status. • Designed to assess exposure to multiple types of stressors. www.acestudy.org 2 3/11/2015 ACE Study More than half of adolescents have had at least one of these adverse childhood experiences, and nearly one in ten have experienced four or more. • The ACE score is the total number of ACE that each participant reported. • For example, experiencing physical neglect would be an ACE score of one; if the child also witnessed a parent being treated violently, the ACE score would be two. • Given an exposure to one category, there is an 80% likelihood of exposure to another. Source: NSCH 2011/2012 For Children ages 0-17 Consequences of Trauma…. • Research shows effects can last a lifetime: • Schoolchildren who experience early trauma find it harder to sit still/follow directions. • As teenagers they are more likely to be drawn to high- risk behaviors. • As adults they often show increased aggression, impulsive behavior, weakened cognition, and an inability to distinguish between real/imagined threats. ACE and Risky Behaviors ACE Exposure and Education • The higher the ACE score, the more we see risky health • As early as the 1960’s research established direct behaviors in childhood and adolescence including: • Pregnancies • Suicide attempts • Early initiation of smoking connections between childhood disadvantage and diminished educational outcomes. • Disparities in early-childhood experience produced disparities in cognitive skill – most significant, in literacy- that could be observed on the first day of Kindergarten and well into adulthood. • Sexual activity • Illicit drug use • Among patients with an ACE score of 0, just 3% display learning/behavior problems. • Among patients with a score of ≥ 4, the figure is 51%.* *Burke, J., Hellman, J., Scott, B., Weems, C. & Carrion, V.

Trauma Impacts on Child Development •Trauma causes brain to adapt in ways that contributed to their survival (i.e. constant fight/flight/freeze). •↓ •These adaptations can look like behavior problems in “normal” contexts, such as school. •↓ •When triggered, “feeling” brain dominates the “thinking” brain. •↓ •The normal developmental process is interrupted, and students may exhibit internalizing or externalizing behaviors. arozum@schoolhealthcenters.org What Might You Notice? • Depression/ withdrawal • Anxiety/worry about safety of self and others • Poor or changed school performance/attendance • Avoidance behaviors • Difficulty focusing, with attention, memory, thinking • Increase in impulsive, risk-taking behaviors • Repetitive thoughts or comments about death or dying • Non-age appropriate behavior • Physical symptoms • Poor emotional control/lashing out • Confrontational/ control battles • Overly protective of personal space/belongings • Over- or underreacting to loud noises or sudden movements • Difficulty with transitions • Emotional response doesn’t “match” situation arozum@schoolhealthcenters.org PBIS and Trauma Informed Practice • Strategies for creating trauma-informed schools fit well into existing initiatives such as PBIS. • A trauma informed school is most effectively created and maintained when positive universal supports and strategies are part of daily school programming. arozum@schoolhealthcenters.org 4 3/11/2015 arozum@schoolhealthcenters.org Entire Classroom Individual and Groups Establish classroom agreements for behavior Provide routines and consistency Provide explicit preparation for changes and transitions Create time in schedule for community building, circles, mindfulness Give opportunities for creative expression Teach about the power of mindsets Build 1:1 relationships with struggling students 3:1 ratio of positive to negative Allow students to step outside of the classroom or put their head down Use restorative practices language Seat students near the front or near you Brain breaks Trauma Informed Practice: How can school staff help? arozum@schoolhealthcenters.org Behavior Plans 1:1 counseling Mental health referrals Student Study Teams Psycho-educational groups Referrals to on campus activities and services Mentoring programs Alternative to suspension programs Classroom presentations School-wide PBIS Youth development programs Family events Whole school-events Trauma Informed Practices within an MTSS Site Example: Raoul Wallenberg HS Team Activity: Trauma Informed Pyramid of Supports Tier 3 • How can Trauma • Selected • Few Students Informed Practices inform your school’s Pyramid of Supports? • What resources and supports can you identify at each tier of the PBIS pyramid on your campus? • How will students be identified for supports at each tier?

SCHOOL Suspension & Expulsion Dropping Out • (b) Other means of correction include, but are not limited Adult Prison http://www.dignityinschools.org/taxonomy/term/71 Punitive vs. Restorative Punitive • Only deal with the wrongdoer • Focus on what rule was broken • Punish the wrongdoer. • Exclude wrongdoers through suspension, expulsion, etc... Restorative • Include those who are affected by the incident in the response. • Understand how people were affected and what harms occurred. • Agree on actions to make things right. • Find what actions can be taken to repair harms and get right with the community. Fundamental Hypothesis • The fundamental hypothesis of restorative practices is that human beings are happier, more cooperative, and productive, and more likely to make positive changes in their behavior when those in positions of authority do things with them, rather than to them or for them(IIRP, 2014). http://www.healthiersf.org/RestorativePractices/media/restorative_practices_and_s an_francisco_public_schools_640x360.mp4 11 3/11/2015 A Continuum of Restorative Practices Adversarial Questions Affective Statements Community Circles Formal Conferencing • What rule was broken? • Who was harmed? • Who’s to blame? • What harm resulted? • What punishment does • What needs to be done to the offender deserve?
