Students of Trauma cover

Students of Trauma: A Handbook for Classroom Teaching in an Environment of Suffering provides educators with real world strategies for working with students who have experienced trauma and who express that trauma through depression, aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity, and suspicion. This handbook, based on current educational research and on the experiences of actual teachers, provides practical guidance to individuals working in schools with hurting young people. What sets this handbook apart from other trauma-informed education texts is its emphasis on specific and direct actions and attitudes that teachers can take today to make a powerful difference in the lives of their most troubled students. Students of Trauma will be a helpful addition to the libraries of classroom teachers, their administrators, and those who train them.

“After a lifetime of educating others, I’ve become convinced that teaching, at its core, is relational, and for students who have experienced trauma that truth becomes even more necessary. I strongly recommend this book to you because it makes that case in a powerful way, but more importantly, it does so by being very practical. Dr. Shepherd’s book will be a valuable, real-world asset for teachers who want to help their students in greatest need. I really think this book has the potential to be a landmark work much like Alan Dewitt Button’s pioneering and highly insightful 1969 book, The Authentic Child.”—Robert A. Vartabedian, President Emeritus, Missouri Western State University
