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.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
