At Phoenix High School and ATLAS Learning Academy in Lincoln, CA we have been using this type of learning along with many other outside the box ideas for students to learn, feel valued and graduate.

I totally have been living this type of experience more that 20+ years. The type of training I do includes cognitive thinking approaches, understanding students basic needs and how to manage a classroom of students without coercion and trauma-informed practices.

Recently, at Big Picture Fresno, the school I founded, a few of the teachers and myself have been implementing the training you spoke of in your article. The positive results for any kind of student can be met when teachers are not only informed, but learn how to practice new skill sets that are never covered in traditional teacher education programs.

I’m on board and willing to assist in any way I can.

Great article!!
