Fostering Resilient Learners: Strategies for Creating a Trauma-Sensitive Classroom

By Kristin Sauers & Pete Hall



Grounded in research and the authors’ experience working with trauma-affected students and their teachers, Fostering Resilient Learners will help you cultivate a trauma-sensitive learning environment for students across all content areas, year levels and educational settings. The authors – a mental health therapist and a veteran principal – provide proven, reliable strategies to help you

understand what trauma is and how it hinders the learning, motivation and success of all students in the classroom
build strong relationships and create a safe space to enable students to learn at high levels
adopt a strength-based approach that leads you to recalibrate how you view destructive student behaviours and to perceive what students need to break negative cycles
head off frustration and burnout with essential self-care techniques that will help you and your students flourish.

Each chapter also includes questions and exercises to encourage reflection and extension of the ideas in this book.

As an educator, you face the impact of trauma in the classroom every day. Let this book be your guide to seeking solutions rather than dwelling on problems, to building relationships that allow students to grow, thrive and – most assuredly – learn at high levels.
