Many educators are now recognising how significant
alternative ways of thinking in the classroom are for
optimising engagement and learning. Louise explores
how to facilitate quality moments of relationship with
children and young people that genuinely reach them,
where they are, recognising the impact of trauma on
their emotional state, mental functioning and ability, or
lack of it, to trust the adults. She helps identify the
best way to work in practical terms so that we can teach curriculum as
well as healthy behaviours.
Honouring biology by building on Perry's (2006) neuro
-developmental sequence, Louise provides numerous
creative ways of being and doing for those wanting to
ensure school is as inclusive as it can be.
