<p>Here is part one of a package based on Trauma Informed Practice.</p> <p>Trauma-informed practice in education focuses on understanding trauma’s impact, supporting affected students, and creating inclusive, safe environments.</p> <p>Trauma-informed approaches to managing behaviour start by asking ‘What has happened to you?’ rather than ‘What have you done?’. Trauma Informed behaviour policies are now a requirement in schools.</p> <p>Slides in the form of Powerpoint, as well as a pdf version. This was delivered to staff on a training day and took around about an hour. Subsequent parts are available in my shop. This is aimed mostly at Primary Schools, but it could be used, if not slightly amended to be used, in Secondary Schools.</p>

<p>Trauma-informed practice in education focuses on understanding trauma’s impact, supporting affected students, and creating inclusive, safe environments.</p> <p>Trauma-informed approaches to managing behaviour start by asking ‘What has happened to you?’ rather than ‘What have you done?’.</p> <p>These slides act as part three where staff address building relationships through effective communication skills - with a key focus on listening.</p> <p>There is also an self-assessment tool that can be used during this session and again at a later date.</p>

<p>Trauma-informed practice in education focuses on understanding trauma’s impact, supporting affected students, and creating inclusive, safe environments.</p> <p>Trauma-informed approaches to managing behaviour start by asking ‘What has happened to you?’ rather than ‘What have you done?’. These slides form part two of a training sequence to be delivered across the year.</p> <p>This is a shorter session which could be used as a top up / reminder / refresher. It covers some sensitive topics and focuses on what causes trauma and what is the impact for children and young people.</p> <p>Downloadable in Powerpoint format and pdf. there is also a checklist in Word Doc format that is required to be printed and used for this session.</p> <p>Please make amendments where required - especially for slide 6/7 where you will need to look at your school’s values / vision / mission statement.</p>

<p>These posters describe the four word types: nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.</p> <p>Each word type adheres to a school-wide agreed colour system:<br /> verbs = red<br /> nouns = green<br /> adjectives = yellow<br /> adverbs = blue<br /> These are also stated in poster form on this pdf.</p> <p>Colour association helps visual learners. It has been profound for children when constructing sentences and overwriting - knowing which word type is where, what its role is within the sentence and what it could be replaced with. Such visual strategy helps deepen the children’s understanding of word types and grammar - especially when used across the whole school.</p>

<p>This poster displays key homophones for pupils in KS1 and on entry to KS2. Each word is represented visually. this can be included as an insert in planners, stuck in books or displayed on writing / spelling walls.</p>

<p>A fully formatted whole school curriculum assessment Google sheet complete with setup instructions AND staff training slides on how to use.<br /> All staff are required to do is input children’s initials and add the total number of pupils in each column. The spreadsheet will then calculate percentages and you will have:<br /> -Year group % of pupils working: well below, below and at.<br /> -Subject overviews (how pupils are performing in each subject with specific subject areas (sculpture, drawing etc.)<br /> -ALL foundation subjects (including Science) are included</p> <p>Setup instructions are included (this is where you will download your sheet from) as well as slides presentation for staff roll out.</p> <p>Excel format coming soon!</p>

<p>These visual aids support the cognitive domain required in answering questions relating to the KS2 content domains.</p> <p>Each content domain has a colour and a visual which supports a range of learners to associate the skills required in answering a question to a question type. It breaks down the ‘wordy’ content domain into something more simple and use friendly. these should be displayed, feature next to questions on sheets and on slides next to question types.<br /> They will need teaching explicitly before full roll out.</p> <p>Dyslexia Sparks (a dyslexia specialist school) stated how fantastic these were in aiding dyslexic learners who already have barriers to overcome when it comes to reading.</p> <p>The colours are also progressive from KS1 - please see my other resource.</p>

<p>These ‘Recommended Reads’ Bookmarks come with a QR code for children to scan. This will then take them to a quality retelling of that story.<br /> Suitable for children in Y1 and Y2, there are enough for each school week of the year.</p> <p>These can be edited by uploading the doc to Canva, or please search ‘how can i edit a pdf file for free?’ on google and Adobe will enable you to do this too.</p> <p>These can be sent home / shared weekly with families or used in reading corners / areas. What’s more these could also be uploaded to school websites.</p> <p>Great for Ofsted’s vision of encouraging a love of reading and reading for pleasure.</p> <p>N.B.
