In this dynamic conversation, Alex Shevrin Venet and Mathew Portell invite us to consider how trauma-informed education can transform outcomes for students and educators alike. They remind us that trauma-informed education is not a curriculum, program, or list of strategies. Instead, being trauma-informed is a lens that we must integrate into every part of the teaching and learning culture. From their school experiences and writings on the subject, Alex and Mathew share stories and steps for reexamining current norms and practices—and for building a trauma-informed system that’s necessary for learning and flourishing.
