Breakaway Learners
Author: Karen Gross
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807758426
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This powerful book explores how institutions of higher education can successfully serve breakaway studentsfirst-generation, low-income students who are trying to break away from the past in order to create a more secure future. The gap between low-SES and high-SES students persists as efforts to close it have not met with great success. In this provocative book, Gross offers a new approach to addressing inequities by focusing on students who have succeeded despite struggling with the impacts of poverty and trauma. Gross draws on her experience as a college president to outline practical steps that post-secondary institutions can take to create structures of support and opportunity that build reciprocal trust. Students must trust their institutions and professors, professors must trust their students, and eventually students must learn to trust themselves.

Mending Education
Author: Karen Gross
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807782548
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Discover how the crisis of a global pandemic allowed educators to improve learning across the pre-K–adult pipeline. While acknowledging the scale of loss and difficulty the COVID pandemic engendered within the field of education, this book focuses on how sudden and forced changes to teaching and learning created “Pandemic Positives,” which can be captured and brought to scale. In particular: Part I addresses how Pandemic Positives came into being, with special attention to the presence of educator hope and creativity. Part II explores the Pandemic Positives that arose in three settings: when schools were closed, when learning turned online, and when schools re-opened. Part III provides strategies for replicating the Pandemic Positives so they become positive educational game changers. This book is grounded on trauma and mental wellness theory and includes the in-the-trenches experiences and voices of educators. The text features art created by the coauthors and shares both their professional and personal experiences, humanizing and enriching the book. Mending Education completes a trilogy composed of Breakaway Learners and Trauma Doesn’t Stop at the School Door by Karen Gross. “We have all bemoaned the COVID pandemic and its lasting negative effects, but Karen Gross and Edward Wang turn that pessimism on its head. Their extensive experience in education is augmented by the priceless data gathered through their research survey of teachers and educators. This is a must-have for educators everywhere.” —Chris Messina-Boyer, educational crisis manager/crisis communications consultant, 20Buttonwood PR Solutions LLC

Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door
Author: Karen Gross
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807778672
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This book explores how educational institutions have failed to recognize and effectively address the symptoms of trauma in students of all ages. Given the prevalence of traumatic events in our world, Gross argues that it is time for educational institutions and those who work within them to change their approaches and responses to traumatic symptoms that manifest in students in schools and colleges. These changes can alter how and what we teach, how we train teachers, how we structure our calendars and create our schedules, how we address student behavior and disciplinary issues, and how we design our physical space. Drawing on real-life examples and scenarios that will be familiar to educators, this resource provides concrete suggestions to assist institutions in becoming trauma-responsive environments, including replicable macro and micro changes. “Ideas and strategies that teachers, parents, students, and leaders of any organization can leverage to make positive transformational changes.” —Martha J. Kanter, U.S. under secretary of education (2009–2013) “A treasure trove of information on trauma, as well as thoughtful recommendations for schools from pre–K through college.” —Kathleen Ross, president emeritus, Heritage University “It is a book for the ‘Generation T’ in the context of our time. Offers strategies of quieting the hyper-aroused stress response system. —Ed K.S. Wang, Massachusetts General Hospital
