Description
As a school counselor for the last 20 years, I am so grateful for this
book! Kristin has served trauma-impacted children and families
throughout her career and has incredibly effective ways of sharing all
that she has learned. I am a stronger counselor and more effective
leader in my building due to her influence. I am so excited that through
this book, more people will be inspired to learn and grow in the
important work of serving kids and families affected by trauma. --

and adversity on children's learning, development, and behavior have

Kristin Souers not only is an expert and innovator in the field but also

children and adults alike. Fostering Resilient Learners is an excellent,
practical resource for all adults working with and inside education
systems, and I highly recommend it to better understand the needs of the
whole child and to create the foundation for all students' learning and
success. --Natalie Turner, Assistant Director, Child and Family Research

will shift your focus from reacting to negative student behavior to
explaining and preventing negative student behavior. Once you can
prevent getting 'sucked into Oz,' you can achieve all your goals for
staff and students. --Shannon Lawson, building principal Read more In
