Unfortunately, those who are survivors of Domestic Violence are now home with their abusers. For children who are survivors there are fewer opportunities for those in a position to help to see signs and report.

Love this reminder from Trauma Sensitive Teachers Network. Daily reminder that a kid (or adult) who misbehaves is discouraged, disempowered, or missing the skills to deal w/a challenge they were given. As school begins let’s remember that there’s always a reason for a behavior.

A new study suggests that suspensions actually increase students’ risk for committing future offenses. These are especially critical findings for #equity, because students of color are more likely to be suspended than their white peers: https://t.co/qORXruMYhu #EdChat

@jacklynch_ @sjimenez99 Restorative Practices works. Use it more often as a first response, not last resort. The process is longer but it gets to the root of the problem. Encourages empathy, ownership, self-reflection, and is key to social emotional learning. https://t.co/V851A848yr
