Exploring Implementation of Trauma-engaged Practices in Alaska Schools

Excerpt:  “To help schools address the negative impacts of childhood trauma, Alaska released Transforming Schools: A Framework for Trauma-Engaged Practice in Alaska (Transforming Schools Framework) in 2019, as well as a suite of Trauma-Engaged Schools resources to support implementation of the framework. However, little was known about the extent to which schools used the framework and related resources or implemented practices consistent with the framework. This study sought to develop a better understanding of implementation of trauma-engaged practices in Alaska’s schools. Using existing administrative and survey data gathered by the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, this study found that Alaska schools’ implementation of trauma-engaged practices varies, with most schools demonstrating an emerging level of implementation (the middle level of implementation relative to all study schools).”
