Getting Back to School After Disruptions
Learning Activity
A safe and supportive environment is a critical aspect of a positive academic environment. Students experiencing trauma "desperately need school to be their safest, most predictable, and most positive setting, especially if they have been displaced or are without utilities or basic comforts" (OSEP Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, 2017).
