ANTS in Your PANTS: A Trauma Informed Teaching Framework
ANTS in Your PANTS: A Trauma Informed Teaching Framework
ANTS in your PANTS: A Trauma Informed Teaching Resource is a framework that was developed by an Occupational Therapist and an Inclusive Education Teacher. This framework was developed using principles of trauma-informed care, integrated with key understandings of attachment, self-regulation and Social-Emotional Learning. This framework highlights practical strategies and skills for recognizing and responding to challenging behaviour in the classroom in a way that is trauma-sensitive.
