Abstract

​​This study explores literature focused on the impact of implementing the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) method to improve academic achievement among students who have experienced trauma. CBITS is a school-based, evidence-informed intervention designed to address the psychological and behavioral challenges that trauma creates, which often interfere with academic achievement. This literature review examines changes in student outcomes, including emotional regulation, focus, and academic performance, following CBITS implementation. A comprehensive analysis highlights the documented effectiveness and benefits of CBITS across diverse studies and educational contexts.
