Prepare your teachers to recognize and support student’s emotional needs and how to support themselves as well.
Everybody Learns teaches strategies to help students AND teachers cope and thrive.
Everybody Learns is here to SUPPORT YOUR TEACHERS
Teachers are caring and compassionate by nature. So, when their students are struggling, they worry and want to help. In many cases, they are quick to recognize the symptoms of trauma —poor academic performance, disruptive behavior or social withdrawal—but they don't always know how to help.
Additionally, post Covid, the educational climate itself is stressful and challenging and teachers are leaving the profession in droves. They are also stressed. Really stressed.
We can help in two ways:
We help teachers understand what is happening with their students under stress. Everybody Learns is part of a growing movement to create trauma-informed schools that can provide for the holistic health and wellbeing of their students.
We help teachers understand what is happening for THEMSELVES during this stressful time - and help them develop their personalized Professional Sustainability Plan.
Everybody Learns addresses both student and educator anxiety, and stress.
Numerous studies have associated traumatic experiences in kids with academic difficulties, attention- deficit , and disruptive and internalizing behaviors. Other studies have shown that almost half of children in America have experienced some form of trauma. So, it's an important problem to solve in our schools. Trauma can result from any number of unfortunate life events, including divorce, death, suicide, illness, bullying, violence, abuse, poverty, neglect and more. It can result from incidents at home, at school, or in the larger community--such as natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or even a global crisis, like the coronavirus pandemic.
The Everybody Learns curriculum addresses all types of trauma-induced symptoms, including anxiety, stress, fear, grief, guilt, shame and others. We teach your teachers how to recognize the signs of emotional and psychological distress that trauma can cause, and how to intervene in the most effective ways. Everybody Learns also addresses the issue of secondary trauma that comes from teachers and administrators coping with the emotional weight of helping students in distress.
The Troubling Facts about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
47% of all children in the US have had at least one ACE
22% of all children have two or more ACEs
ACEs negatively affect a child's development, education and health
ACEs are common across all incomes, races, and education levels
Classrooms with higher student stress levels result in higher rates of teacher burnout

Trauma-Sensitive Schools/Adverse Childhood Experiences
This module begins with a review of childhood trauma and social-emotional learning helping teachers immediately understand that a brain under stress simply cannot learn.
