Teachers are on the frontlines, frequently spending more time with a child each weekday than his parents do. Many of these children have experienced trauma, yet, teachers receive little instruction in how best to reach and teach traumatized children; children who behaviorally and academically presents some of the greatest challenges in the classroom. Whether a teacher, counselor, education specialist or parent, you will want to join ATN as we interview Susan Craig, author of Reaching and Teaching Children Who Hurt. Susan, an education specialist, sociologist and teacher trainer will lead us through the such topics as 1) Can’t versus Won’t – how impaired development affects classroom behavior; 2) Managing the “Double Struggle” – working with our own issues as we try to work with the child’s; 3) Trauma-sensitive approaches to meeting the Common Core Standards.
