My Students: 
Nearly half of our students meet the standard to be categorized as living in a low socioeconomic status. As a result they experience and live with high levels of stress and experience trauma(s) which affects their ability to function to their full capacity. For some of these students it affects their ability to function on a daily basis.
My Project: 
This year we have focused much of our professional development on trauma informed care. We are conducting a book study regarding how trauma impacts the development of the brain. This is an area that the staff has high interest in and desire to learn more so we can better address our student's mental health needs. This project will help in the creation of a Trauma Informed Care Resource Library for teachers to access and continue their reading and research on how to best care for students.
My Students Need: 
Our students need teachers who are well informed and trained to meet their increasing needs.
