Trauma-Informed Strategies for Building Resilience
The research question of this presentation is: “How do ACEs and explicit instruction of resilience methods affect education?” where I will be exploring what ACEs are, how they affect those who have experienced them, and what kinds of resilience techniques can be helpful to them. I will also be researching what the explicit instruction of resilience affects education in the traditional public education classroom. After noticing the behavior of several of my students in my kindergarten practicum placement with known ACEs, I wanted to know more about how I can help them, and if the explicit instruction of resilience methods is helpful for them to learn how to self-regulate and continue to participate in classroom activities. The proposed strategies include creating and sticking to a consistent schedule, creating proper physical boundaries, providing exit strategies as needed such as placing students near the edge of the classroom, and teaching self-regulation and mindfulness strategies.
