Abstract
Trauma-informed teaching has become widely known since the COVID-19 pandemic despite it being adopted into teaching practices after trauma-informed care was introduced by Harris and Fallot in 2001. Through the many years of research surrounding trauma and its impact on the brain of developing children, studies have addressed the in depth information on how trauma-informed teaching can pave the way of success for our students and support school personnel. This thesis will explore the research regarding trauma-informed care and teaching in order to further define what trauma is, how it can impact children and their learning process, how children perceive the impact of trauma, how teachers can develop their own knowledge of trauma-informed teaching, and how all of those pieces come together to make a cohesive puzzle.
