The Educator's Guide to Building Child & Family Resilience - Paperback
by Michele Myers (Author), Linda Mayes (Author)
Drawing on research by the Yale Child Study Center, Mayes and Myers show us how trauma affects the developing brain and share classroom-based strategies that use the power of students' and families' own stories to promote social-emotional well-being. Educators learn ways to leverage this student-focused, story-centered work to build key literacy skills.
