Drawing on research by the Yale Child Study Center, Mayes and Myers show us how trauma affects the developing brain and share classroom-based strategies that use the power of students' and families' own stories to promote social-emotional well-being. Educators learn ways to leverage this student-focused, story-centered work to build key literacy skills.
