    • Abstract:
      By now, members of state boards of education will have heard the dire statistics about the rise in students' mental health struggles, which were exacerbated by exposure to added traumatic events during the pandemic. When they are prepared to do so, educators play an important role in helping these students. In this article, the authors discuss how applying trauma-informed practices in the classroom can help students build the resilience and emotional intelligence they will need to reduce the impact of trauma on their well-being and learning. The authors also argue that state boards should take action to ensure that educators are trained in trauma-informed practices.
