Thoroughly enjoying @BenjaminPerks new book. Full of science, strategies and stories shaping trauma-proof societies. I know our @TISUK_ practitioners would devour this one.

6 TED Talks on Trauma-Informed Teaching Trauma and adversity can impact anyone anytime and anywhere. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic or everyday stress have lasting effects. | Edmentu...

The piece is from 2022 but it will still be of help to all teachers. 'Trauma-informed teaching' is basically 'biologically-informed teaching'. I think the education system has a moral & professional responsibility to help teachers understand this information.

Martin Teicher said at recent Words Matter conference - boys brains more affected by parental verbal abuse than girls in earlier years - age of vulnerability for boys is 0-7 while for girls itโ€™s 10-15 his research has shown. ๐Ÿคฏ Our boys need us to know this.

A range of studies have been published recently about the impact of ACEs. Here's a THREAD summarising them.

1. When measured during pregnancy, women with higher ACE scores were found to have greater epigenetic aging. This aging appears to alter the genome of the babies, especially in boys.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend his ๐Ÿ“™ Cut Short: Why Weโ€™re Failing Our Youth. His chapter on shame and othering in schools resonated greatly with my experience of excluded YP in APs I've worked in. We're all part of the solution to what we've seen in the last few weeks in the UK.
