** THE MOMENT ([link removed])

Supporting Social and Emotional Safety
------------------------------------------------------------



**
------------------------------------------------------------
Traumatic stress can have long-term health effects on developing brains and, in response, districts across the United States are acknowledging the role that trauma plays in students’ achievement opportunities. But how well are districts defining trauma? And how well do educators understand what it really means to practice trauma-informed pedagogy? These Learning for Justice resources ([link removed]) can help educators learn how to recognize the signs of trauma, better understand the causes of trauma, and take steps to establish social and emotional safety in the classroom.

** Check Out What We’re Reading
------------------------------------------------------------
“Delivering on quality has costs—but the benefits are public, and the investments must be, too. D.C. and its residents recognize this and are taking steps to support the field to make early education a sustainable career choice and provide children and families with quality options.” — The Washington Post ([link removed])

“It’s crucial for schools to teach what students need to learn (in this case, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and a host of other reading skills). However, it’s just as imperative that parents and caregivers are well-equipped and supported to lay the groundwork kids need in order to learn those lessons well.” — Time ([link removed])

“The initiative provides free Brooklyn Library cards to students across the country whose school districts have imposed book bans, allowing them to download electronic versions of books they otherwise would not be able to access.” — Essence ([link removed])
