(This a follow-up to the keynote “Meeting the Social-Emotional Needs of Wounded Students”, building on the foundational information with more in-depth strategies). This session provides a wealth of strategies for teachers and principals who work with wounded students―those students who are beyond the point of "at-risk" and have experienced trauma in their lives. Based on evidence in his most recent book, key strategies will be shared for creating hope-centered school cultures to transform the lives of students. Recognizing the power of relationships and empathy in creating a sense of community and safety for all students, this session seeks to assist in redesigning school environments and empower educators to position wounded students for HOPE.
