How educators can support students through the weight of childhood trauma
In short: Lisa Godwin shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma to demonstrate how teachers and counselors can help students find their voice and navigate life's hardships.
In this moving TED talk, educator Lisa Godwin reflects on how the unwavering support of a teacher and a school counselor helped her overcome childhood trauma. She emphasizes that recognizing student behaviors and being attentive to what students say—or choose to omit—is vital for their well-being.
Godwin, now a kindergarten teacher, advocates for building strong relationships and letting students of all ages know they have someone in their corner. This approach is critical given that the CDC estimates 50% of children have experienced childhood trauma.
