  Discusses strategies and techniques to reach and teach children who have been exposed to various forms of trauma, such as abuse, neglect, community violence; and explores how family violence influences language and memory, and other related topics. Shows educators how to adapt instruction to address the learning characteristics of children exposed to trauma, & how to use positive behavior supports so children can stay calm and focused on learning. Presents ways to build meaningful, appropriate, and supportive teacher-student relationships and encourage positive peer relationships through cooperative games, group projects, and buddy systems. Throughout the book, realistic sample scenarios demonstrate how teachers can make the strategies work in their classroom, and challenging What Would You Do? quizzes sharpen educators' instincts so they can respond skillfully in difficult situations.
