Lessons Learned

• Love, love, love. This is the foundation of my time working with young children with various abilities. I try to view every moment in our classroom with these young children as the brightest part of their week.
• Connection.
• Trust 

Resources Developed

• Conscious Discipline Brains (coming soon)
• Simple tips provided by national teacher’s union concerning teacher focused, classroom based, trauma-informed practices

Suggested Resources

• The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity, by Nadine Burke Harris (YouTube presentation by author)
• I chose two individuals that provide content whom I often refer to on various teaching/parenting challenges. “Mr. Chazz” and Dr. Becky Kennedy. Both have various content streams via social media, podcasts, books, etc. that allow anyone supporting children to access information on providing healthy choices
• Dr. Becky Bailey, of Conscious Discipline, has developed strategies to help adults regulate themselves as they nurture the relationships with children and build social emotional development. We continue to have professional development within our early childhood program in the school district and I love learning/sharing this knowledge with all staff surrounding me

Collaborative Areas of Interest

• Creating trauma informed team environments with colleagues
