Publisher's summary

Educators must both respond to the impact of trauma and prevent trauma at school.

Trauma-informed initiatives tend to focus on the challenging behaviors of students and ascribe them to circumstances that students are facing outside of school. This approach ignores the reality that inequity itself causes trauma and that schools often heighten inequities when implementing trauma-informed practices that are not based in educational equity.

In this fresh look at trauma-informed practice, Alex Shevrin Venet urges educators to shift equity to the center as they consider policies and professional development. Using a framework of six principles for equity-centered trauma-informed education, Venet offers practical action steps that teachers and school leaders can take from any starting point, using the resources and influence at their disposal to make shifts in practice, pedagogy, and policy. Overthrowing inequitable systems is a process, not an overnight change. But transformation is possible when educators work together, and teachers can do more than they realize from within their own classrooms.

Great, comprehensive intro to equity in school

Offers so many important ideas that any educator can consider and enact! The author carefully considers many different perspectives on the ideas given and why they are important. Definitely will come back to this frequently!

Go-to recc for all-in burnt-out educators in a time pinch

As a LICSW/school social worker in Minneapolis, this is the one book I wish every educator would read, that I eagerly point to, and say “and it’s really good on audible, totally worth it” on a regular basis. Great tools, presents information and examples in a engaging and empowering way with a student-centered mindset for change.

Critically speaking, the audience is largely educators and education as a whole and not so much clinical practice technical development.

Overall a must read!
