Nearly half of all children have been exposed to at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE), such as poverty, divorce, neglect, substance abuse, or parent incarceration. This workbook-style resource shows K-12 educators how to integrate trauma-informed strategies into daily instructional practice through expanded focus on:
The experiences and challenges of students impacted by ACEs, including suicidal tendencies, cyberbullying, and drugs
Behavior as a form of communication and how to explicitly teach new behaviors
How to mitigate trauma and build innate resiliency
