Responding to Trauma: The Role of K-12 Schools
1. Establish and keep routines/rituals.
2. Give a 3-5 minute warning before switching activities, lining up, etc.
3. Pay attention to patterns. Take notes each time a child blows up, shuts down, etc., and you will likely determine the trigger. You can then change how you redirect that student.
4. Instead of assuming a student is choosing to do or not do something, ask questions to get to the bottom of why they made that decision.
5. Give students the opportunity to feel in control as much as possible and make decisions.
6. Keep students active.
