Can you predict the short and long term effects of creating a “trauma-informed classroom” on students’ academic, as well as social-emotional, growth? If more classrooms used trauma-informed approaches, what would the social and emotional impact be for students inside and outside of school?

The Original Post is the post you write in response to the Pre-Work Reading’s question in Google Classroom. It is based on your prior knowledge, lived experiences, reactions, analysis etc. to the content of the reading. Exploring your own K-12 experience, and your current experience teaching students in summer school, can be a reflective entry point into exploring the complexities of the reading.
Length: At least 350 words. It’s recommended that you write your post in programs like Google Doc, Microsoft Word, Mac Pages, etc. so you can get an accurate word count and complete a spell check before officially submitting.
Reading Citations: At least 2 citations from the reading should be included in your original post using MLA or APA format. The citation is not included in your overall word count.
Formality: This can be more conversational than a formal essay, however remember structure and conventions are important. Readers should be able to follow your line of logic through your post’s structure. Readers should not struggle to understand your meaning because language is too colloquial. You can think of this more as a “blog post” rather than a “text with friends.”
