The A-Z of Trauma-Informed Teaching Anne Oakley

'This is a remarkable achievement. Like Batman's Utility belt for teachers. So many practical, wise, inspiring, and achievable ideas are packed in here. I can imagine this becoming as indispensable for teachers as Gray's Anatomy is for doctors...' - Stephen Fry

'If you want a book to assist with your work with traumatised children, choose this one. It is the best!' - Professor Peter Fonagy OBE, Chief Executive, Anna Freud National Centre for Children & Families

'Humane and grounded in science, this book could change lives.' - Sir Norman Lamb, Chair of Maudsley NHS and Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition

What does trauma-informed teaching really look like in the classroom, and can we really achieve it?

Maybe you, like many other teachers, will reach the end of a busy day feeling exhausted, deskilled and less than keen to dive into a book on the theory of trauma. Luckily you won't find any complex theory or jargon in this book, but you will gain an understanding of how small humans develop, how perplexing behaviours can be explained and learn inclusive strategies that will help all children in your classroom and school. Part 1 provides you with an explanation of what trauma-informed teaching involves. Then, Part 2 lists an A-Z of issues and behaviours for you to flip to in your busiest moments, ranging from Aggression and Lateness right through to Learning Challenges and Zzz (sleep issues).

Gain new understanding into the children in your classroom with this book offering you strategies to better support every child's mental health and resilience.
