Description
Maybe you have heard the terms 'trauma-informed' and 'restorative' - but how do you go about becoming a trauma-informed, restorative educator?
This practical book outlines the values, ideas and neuroscience behind trauma-informed restorative practice and its proven effectiveness. It clearly explains key theories relating to shame, trauma and your autonomic nervous system, and explains how to apply this knowledge in practice. Examples and stories of restorative practice feature throughout to inspire and emulate, as do practical protocols, tools and systems to develop your skills as a trauma-informed educator. Critically, it also explains the personal and professional qualities you need to nurture to truly engage in trauma-informed, restorative practice, with reflection points to aid learning and self-development.
Read this book and take your first steps to creating a trauma-informed, restorative classroom - even if your school isn't doing it!

Topics covered in Becoming a Trauma-informed Restorative Educator :
why and how we experience trauma, the neuroscience behind behavior, regulation and co-regulation, adversity, resilience/dosing/spacing, putting theories and principles into action, shame that comes with trauma, and finally a call to action to become a trauma-informed restorative teacher.
I think this book was a good read for its intended audience (teachers), but it would also be good for parents and individuals who have dealt with trauma. I really enjoyed the chapter on shame and dealing with that. Will be rereading this and making notes on how to implement in my personal life!
