Essential Methods for Managing Disruptive Students with Complex Trauma
This five week book study of Help for Billy, by Heather T. Forbes, will guide you in effectively incorporating proven strategies in your classroom for trauma-impacted students who struggle with self-regulation. You will learn what the research has shown us about the effects of trauma on the brain and gain valuable new understandings for shifts you can make as teachers to support, guide and intentionally scaffold practices to tap into a student's natural desire to learn. You will compare traditional approaches to classroom management, transitions and teacher-student relationships with a new view that supports all students to learn and achieve academically.
