So often, schools look at homes, families, and their communities as the source of trauma. This allows educators and administrators to blame and shame parents when their children act out at school. When measuring the impact of childhood trauma on individuals, we use the Adverse Childhood Experiences Inventory, however all questions on the inventory are grounded in the home and family. What if schools are the source of trauma? It is important that we examine trauma that occurs at school, by those charged to teach, encourage, and inspire children to learn. When we turn the camera inward and look at schools as a source of trauma, we might be surprised at what we find. Dr. Rosemarie Allen is a survivor of school trauma. She was suspended countless times, expelled from 3 schools, and exprienced corporal punishment regularly from teachers and administrators. Dr. Allen attributes many of those negative interactions to implicit bias, cultural misalignments, and explicit racism that is inherent in America's schools. In her role as Associate Professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver and CEO of the Institute for Racial Equity and Excellence, she teaches future and current educators about the role of implicit bias in making decisions and the perceptions of children's behaviors. She teaches about power, positionality, and the importance of creating antibias/antiracist school practices. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
School is a toxically stressful, traumatic adverse childhood experience.
I never experienced physical abuse in public school, however I still feel the whole experience was traumatic in its own way. I was carrying a lot of stress and pain from home and then to have to go into school so early in the morning and just be constantly criticized by teachers all day for a little things that don't matter in the real world really wore on me. On top of that the constant peer pressure bullying etc.
Schools traumatize our kids from the bullying that is going on alone, not even including the way staff treats children. School staff continue the same punishment methods and bullying has only gotten worse. When will they try something new?
I remember being told "just ignore them" whenever I went for help for bullying issues; I had one really bad case of bullying from one student which, by that time, I had stopped looking for help, and it has effected me ever since.
When the semester exams arrive, children memorize and this causes force to erase their talents, children are traumatized from learning..
I wish we talked more about trauma from school because if you took that from my childhood then it was perfect. Like I know it’s not your responsibility to raise these kids but when you have to look after several different kids from varying backgrounds it IS your responsibility to make sure they feel safe with both you and each other
Her Ted talks really deserve more views. Dr. Allen's work is so important!

Right
Any wonder why there are school shootings. Could it be that these shooters went through some trama from a teacher or student did to them?
Exactly but idiotic society solely blames all men for it and calls them incels sick society
Teachers are just as traumatized as students.. but we are not even seen as human beings.
Dr. Allen is one of my favorite research presenters. She exudes passion through her presentations.
She is fraud ....
"Did you know that there are 19 states that still allow corporal "punishment" (physical abuse) and 40 states that allow it in private schools."

I hated some of my teachers. I am going through trama because it i
I have been traumatized as a teacher by students - so yes I get it.
You're a grown-up, you choice to be a teacher and you're able to defend yourself. Children can't. It's insane that you'd be traumatised by children.@@n9mone
We love youuu
