DESCRIPTION:
Topics covered include poverty, obesity, incarceration, immigration, death, sexual exploitation, LGBT issues, psychodrama, the expressive arts, resilience, and military students. Through a snapshot of the diverse student populous, this book explores the impact of these experiences on a student's learning and success. The authors share the children's perspective, and through case studies they offer solutions and viable objectives.. This is particularly the case in marginalised groups of young people who are subject to loss, grief, trauma and shame. It is increasingly challenging for teachers to educate without a deeper understanding of the experience of their students
This wide ranging book brings clarity and insight into relevant contemporary issues. Those who serve and support these precious children now have an extraordinary resource to rely upon. Once again, Linda Goldman has reached out across cultures to break down barriers and rally caregivers and educators to the aid of our most vulnerable citizens, children who are traumatically bereaved and in desperate need of trauma informed care. -- Bonnie Carroll, President and Founder of TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) Linda Go
