Sitler, Helen Collins
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v82 n3 p119-123 Jan-Feb 2009

Through the examples of two students, a fifth grader and a first-year college student, the author explores the intersections between trauma and learning and discusses how teachers might mitigate the effects of trauma in their classrooms.
