This is a complex problem. We need to understand the nature of trauma that many of our students have experienced. Instructors need to recognize the signs of trauma and then provide the necessary pedagogies and supports.

In addtion, understanding child, adolencent and adult development is also important. In that way instructors can react to students and support them accordingly. Thinking of education not as just skill develoment but as transforming in accordence with where students are developmentally is crucial.In orther words pedagogy follows development and facilitates it.

Hi Ron:

Thanks for joining our conversation. If you were in charge of your school district, what policies would you put in place to help address this problem? What supports do teachers need in the classroom?
