Guy Stephens: Creating Trauma-Informed, Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Many marginalized children are chronically misunderstood in the name of behavior, and the common behavior management approaches in our schools and homes, focused on compliance and the use of rewards and consequences, are failing them. Children with disabilities, neurodivergent children, Black and brown children, and children with a trauma history are at greater risk of being misunderstood and of being subjected to punitive and exclusionary discipline, and moving down the school-to-prison pipeline. The common approaches to managing behavior are failing students, educators, and our families.

What if there was a better way? Something based on curiosity, connection, and felt safety - there is.

Covering theory, lived experience, and practice, this book is based on five principles for educators and caregivers that will help children and young people thrive: being traumäinformed, neurosciencealigned, neurodiversityaffirming, relationshipdriven, and collaborative. As educators, you'll learn how to create an inclusive classroom environment and effect meaningful change for children, families, and your educational community; as caregivers, you'll feel confident advocating more effectively.
