Teachers need to realize that students, especially many of our students, experience these kinds of trauma. As a child who is still learning social skills and self-regulation, if this trauma goes untreated it has a negative effect. Children need help to regulate their action and feelings. We, as teachers can help them do this.

Before one can teach, a teacher needs to build relationships.   No one really knows what a child goes home too but a teacher with enough insight can watch for cues or triggers that can affect a child.   I teach meditation in my class to reset and calm before we move on.   I find it helps us to stay focus.    Some teachers use props in their rooms to calm a child down ie stuffed animals.    First and foremost it is building that relationship so the child can succeed academically.

I, myself, was a child who grew up around chaos and I felt I needed it around me at all times. However, my teachers were quick to catch on to these behaviors and found ways to counteract them. The article states to do exactly that and from a student stand point, this works wonderfully.

Teachers must know where their students are at so they can know what is happening when there is a huge meltdown like the one mentioned in the article. Correct teacher responses are crucial.

I love the wheel analogy because when a student can connect to that and imagine their behavior as a wheel that can be controlled and repaired then their behavior, feelings, and behaviors can feel manageable.

This article gave me insight into how to better serve my students that have already suffered through numerous trauma. In particular, the part that discussed the need for objectivity when supporting these students spoke to me. It is so easy for disruptive behavior to feel very personal. However, by being reactive to disruptive behavior, it usually escalates the situation, rather than de-escalate.
