Abstract:Understanding the effects of maltreatment and trauma on a child and their impact on development is an essential aspect of every teacher's job. It is as critical as the curriculum to the child's learning ability and overall well-being. But the issues involved are not easy, the answers not always clear-cut. And guidance is often hard for teachers to find. This volume is a comprehensive handbook featuring basic concepts, questions and answers, and case studies of real-life issues faced by teachers and students. This tool will help professionals in the school setting learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of maltreatment and trauma, understand their role in the child protection system, and craft classroom environments, activities and experiences to maximize learning and facilitate the healing process. The handbook is written in plain language, with hard facts and statistics, real-life case studies and question-and-answer segments. (Contains 64 references.) (GCP)
