Riassunto:

Here is a timely response to the research findings of the last decade. Why Students Underachieve: What Educators and Parents Can Do about It focuses on the need to understand how prevalent trauma is in the lives of our students and how it impacts the brain, subsequent learning, and behavior. This book also details what educators can do not only to prevent further harm to our students, but also to intervene in ways that give them a promising future.

Why Students Underachieve:
·Discusses the problem in education as it relates to trauma and children
·Explains how trauma has a specific impact on the brain and nervous system and how this impact is related to both learning and common behavior problems
·Presents interventions for students who have been traumatized
·Details concrete tools that can be readily used in classrooms and school offices to promote success across academic and behavioral domains
·Suggests ways to prevent traumatization in the event of a crisis at school or in the community

A critique of current crisis intervention practices, as well as an alternative approach, is also presented.
