Susan E. Craig Reaching & Teaching Children Who Hurt
Strategies for Your Classroom This practical, strategy-filled book shows educators how to reach and teach students exposed to trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or community violence, that creates tough obstacles to academic achievement and social success.

In school and childcare settings, these children often behave aggressively and antisocially, disrupting their own education and development as well as that of their classmates, and they place extra demands on their teachers. This timely book enables teachers and childcare providers to understand and apply the most current neurological and psychological knowledge about how violence affects children, in their learning and interactions with others.

Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators
Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms-places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged. This book offers a path to resiliency to help teachers weather the storms and bounce back-and work toward banishing the rain for good.
