Burning Teacher Questions Pt. 3


Listen Later

Today is the third, and last, episode in a mini-series of teacher questions and Lauren saved the toughest questions for last. Lauren reached out to different school districts and teachers for a list of their most pressing questions to answer. While these were asked by teachers there is a lot of information that relates to parents and other caregivers. Don’t miss this episode. 

Today’s Listener Questions: 

  • How do you we ask students about traumatic events in their lives to gain knowledge and show we care without being invasive or upsetting them?
  • What are the typical signs of stress?
  • How can teachers be sensitive to trauma/stress while still maintaining high expectations and holding students accountable?
  • How do we identify students who are stressed but do not have obvious indicators?
  • Is it possible to have flashbacks of traumatic situations with no warning? Or, are there certain triggers?
  • Best practices for educators to manage their stress while in the thick of student’s stress?
