GRIT® Podcast - Episode 9 - Moving the Needle: Benefits of Trauma-Informed MTSS Framework

In today's episode, we're talking about how sensory regulation through a trauma-informed multi-tiered system of supports is the missing link in moving the needle for student success at your school. My original research exposed that as a school counselor, I had spent over 500 hours on crisis intervention (putting out fires) in one academic calendar year. Statistically, knowing the prevalence of trauma in early childhood, I knew those hours weren't spent on willful disobedience, but on guiding students through survival strategies and fight-or-flight responses. Schools that don't implement trauma-informed best practices and sensory support are likely not buffering students from the 60 percent of dysregulation triggers in the school environment. That's why I created the Schools with GRIT®  Trauma-Informed Schools Maturity Audit, a free download to help you assess the need at your school and leverage Title funding to move the needle for school climate and achievement in your district.
