Toby’s conversation with authors Geri Parscale and Darcy Kraus revolves around the importance of establishing trauma response systems in schools, as detailed in the book Navigating the Unexpected: A School Leader’s Guide for Trauma Response Teams. It explores themes like the prevalence of student trauma, the need for proactive and equitable approaches to addressing it, and the significance of prepared frameworks, such as the Dynamic Problem-Solving Team (DPST) and the Foursquare Focus template. The discussion emphasizes sustainability, communication, and collective efficacy among educators while addressing the physical, emotional, and social needs of students experiencing trauma. Drawing from personal experiences, the authors advocate for schools to anticipate challenges and support students, staff, and families with research-based, adaptable tools and systems.
