Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a much needed resource and guide for novice and veteran teachers learning to create trauma-sensitive school environments. It provides a comprehensive review of information, examples, strategies, and tools based on research of effective trauma-informed practices."

Regena F. Nelson, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Teaching, Learning and Educational Studies at Western Michigan University

"The editor and the book’s contributors provide readers with a detailed road map of practical, trauma-informed strategies and practices. They are not asking us to do more in our educational system. Instead, they are showing us, through a multitude of examples, that when we change our approach, we can maximize positive behavior and gains in student learning. What greater gift can we offer our most struggling students?"

Jim Sporleder, MS, former principal at Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, Washington

"Most children are naturally resilient to stresses like watching a friend move out of the neighborhood or listening to parents having the occasional argument. Unfortunately, for far too many of our children and youth, their stressors are much more serious and more enduring. They are the students whose trauma impacts every facet of their lives, including school. If you’re an educator or school mental health specialist, this book is a must read!"

Steve Sandoval, PhD, executive director of special services with Westminster Public Schools, Colorado, and one of Education Week’s 2016 "Leaders to Learn From"

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dr. William Steele began his work in the field of trauma by taking the lead in helping schools across the country develop crisis teams in response to the epidemic of suicide among young people in the early1980’s. These and other experiences led him to founding the National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC) in 1990. As its Director for 23 years, he created a legacy of trauma specific, registered evidence-based intervention programs and resources for schools and agencies now being used in 55 countries by many of the additional 6,000 professionals he trained while at TLC. His work has been featured in such books as the Handbook of Play Therapy, Children in the Urban Environment, Understanding Mass Violence, Creative Interventions with Traumatized Children, Critical Incidents in Counseling Children, Clinical Handbook of Art Therapy and in varied journals.

His latest publications by Routledge include, Reducing Compassion Fatigue, Secondary Traumatic Stress and Burnout: A Trauma-Sensitive Workbook, Optimizing Learning Outcomes: Proven Brain-Centric, Trauma-Sensitive Practices (2017), Trauma In Schools and Communities: Recovery Lessons From Survivors and Responders (2015), Trauma Informed Practices with Children and Adolescents (2012), and the 2013, Wiley Publication Working with Traumatized Children and Adolescents.

Dr. Steele has assisted thousands of survivors and professionals over the years following such tragedies as the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma, 9/11 in New York and Washington D.C., Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the 2009 killings (while in school in the presence of students) of a high school coach in Iowa and a teacher in Texas among many other tragedies across the country. He was one of the first Americans selected by the Kuwait government to assist them in the aftermath of the Gulf War and continues to assist schools, agencies, community based programs and professionals responding to the far too many daily traumas children experience that rarely receive media attention.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very timely and needed!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017
    Optimizing Learning Outcomes is a very timely and well researched book that Dr. Steele and his contributors compiled in a wonderfully organized and useful way. The practical resources, links and suggestions are extremely helpful. Teachers as well as students are suffering from an educational environment rich with overwhelming pressures and ever-changing demands. The chapter on Teacher Resilience, Sustained Effectiveness and Self-care is well placed and very refreshing to read. I believe that we as adults are experiencing our own dysregulation not only from our unresolved ACES but also, the very dysfunctional environments that many of us and our students are living in. Teachers can read this book and begin to understand the toxic stress that many are facing daily. Read this book and dare to peek into the world of distress and begin to act to regulate your brain and body’s stress reactions as well as those of your students.
    Helping students and teachers achieve and succeed does not have to cost a lot of money or require more effort/work; it just takes, as Dr. Steele says, a willingness to do and think differently. This book is a wonderful tool to help us start. As someone who provides consultation, technical assistance and education to this field, I can’t wait to begin to incorporate some of the links into my presentations for educational professional development.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017
    Dr. Steele hits the nail on the head with this information and the stress that our kids face today in the academic setting. It does not require additional work for educators but rather how we can adjust the culture and climate and change our approach in relating to students in an effort to maximize the outcomes and create a win-win for everyone. For schools with PBIS in place this goes hand and hand. The author does a great job with examples that explain how this is "in support of" not in "addition to"
