    This plain-language guide presents practical activities teachers can use right away, designed to facilitate student healing and resilience and to encourage all students to have more compassion. The methods, intended for the classroom as well as ideas for schoolwide programs, draw on recent research in neuroscience, psychology, education, and human development. The first part of the book overviews the effects of trauma and chronic stress on the body and mind and on learning and behavior, and gives advice on how to spot signs of trauma in students. The second section details the activities and practices for building supportive relationships, creating safe spaces, and promoting prosocial behavior, with case examples and vignettes for illustration. The last part of the book explores connections between mindfulness, compassion, and resilience. Annotation ©2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
