Fostering Resilient Learners: Strategies for Creating a Trauma-Sensitive Classroom

A must have for every educator!!! Easy to read, great reflective questions to prompt growth, and applicable to every person who touches the lives of children. Bonus, it’s good for the personal soul too!!

Great book with lots of important information for teachers to consider when working with children in any classroom.

This book is written for elementary and secondary school teachers and support personnel but it can easily be used by teachers, mental health workers, etc. who work with children of all ages. I am a school social worker and have so many unread books on my shelves but this was recommended to me and it is an awesome resource! Best thing I've read in years. The end of each chapter has reflection questions for teachers prompting them to think about whether or not their classroom (and the teacher) is truly trauma-sensitive. My own building and 2 others in my district are using this as a book study for the year. It's an easy read and well worth buying for all staff.

I enjoyed reading as a future educator

The book discusses a lot of ideas and concepts which is great. However, it doesn't give you many real life ways to help in the classroom.

This is an amazing book that EVERY educator needs.

I cant stress how great this book is for any educator. I currently work in a Title I elementary school and as soon as I finished the book I sent out an email to my entire staff encouraging them to read it. It's that good! Kristin Souers’s background is in mental health and Pete Hall’s resume includes teaching and administrator. The combination equates to realistic ways to use the information they are sharing, which if we are being honest doesn’t always seem to happen in professional development books. Part of why it feels do-able is because they encourage self-reflection and questioning when you find yourself in situations with a student, which I love. They also take time to explain what trauma is and what to look for in the classroom.

If you work with children, this book is for you! Required reading for a grad school course, but absolutely invaluable.

This book has been a great read and very helpful. I am grateful to the authors and the teacher who suggested it to me.

It’s a very good book

Excellent resource

Great book. Buy it for sure. If you're a teacher ask your principal if they'll pay for it for you. I bought mine used and it was in great condition.

This book is an amazing text on a trauma-sensitive classroom. I read this book quickly, and now it is sitting at my desk at school and I am working through parts of it again. It is a great framework for the how-tos. Love it.
