Teachers

Teachers covers the school and the adults inside it. Pieces in this part address the school as one of the largest and most consistent settings in a child's week, and the teacher relationship as one of the highest-leverage relationships outside the home. They cover the practice of partnering with a child's teacher rather than fighting them, the work of advocating for accommodations a child needs, the question of how much to share with school about a child's history, the recognition that a trauma-informed school can do as much as a clinician, and the support a teacher needs from the family side to be effective. They include the long arc of academic recovery for a child whose first years of school were chaos. Forms that fit this part include `POLICY` on school advocacy, `STRATEGY_PRACTICE` on partnership scripts, `STAGE_GUIDE`, `LENS`, and `TOOLKIT` for school-side communication templates. The journey vocabulary includes: the adult at school, the partnership that holds, the long catch-up.
