My main goal is to create an environment where students feel welcomed and secure, so that they may maintain a healthy balance in their academic and social/emotional life. For this to happen we need for our students to feel comfortable processing their trauma and learn self-regulation skills. At our school, our focus is on making lifelong learners and leaders that are resilient and not defined by the trauma that many have experienced.
Many of my students have suffered severe trauma in their young lives and tell me that they only feel safe at school.
No matter how bad things get for some of my students, they show up every day ready to try their best and to learn, they often have a smile on their face, and are kind to their teachers and friends. I want to not only support them but to celebrate their positive choices, and build their resilience.
I selected puppets that my students would feel resemble them or their families. I also selected several counseling games that will be utilized in groups working on developing self regulation skills and books to read during class lessons that will help develop the whole child.
