What is trauma and what does it mean for the literacy curriculum?
In this book, elementary teachers will learn how to approach
difficult experiences through the everyday instruction and
interactions in their classrooms. Readers will look inside
classrooms and literacies across genres to see what can unfold when
teachers are committed to compassionate, critical, and relational
practice. Weaving her own challenging experiences into chapters
brimming with children's writing and voices, Dutro emphasizes that
issues of power and privilege matter centrally to how attention to
trauma positions children. The book includes questions and prompts
for discussion, reflection, and practice and describes pedagogies
and strategies designed to provide opportunities for children to
bring the varied experiences of life, including trauma, to their
school literacies in positive, meaningful, and supported ways.Book
Features: Offers a reconceptualization of trauma as a source of
connection, reciprocity, knowledge, and literacy engagement.
Identifies three key tenets that teachers can follow to ensure that
children's experiences and perspectives are honored. Shares
classroom stories and literacy lessons, including many examples of
children's writing. Includes sum-up reflections and discussion
prompts. Provides up-to-date lists of resources.
