Trauma Informed Teaching | Dr. Meredith Fox | TEDxFieldstoneDriveED

Re-thinking how we relate to and build relationships with students who have social-emotional needs, as well as connect with students who may have experienced trauma in their lives.
Dr. Fox is a passionate educator with 17 years of experience in public education.
She began her career as a special education teacher in the Nanuet School District and went on to complete a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration from Fordham University. Upon completion of that degree, she expanded her role by taking on the position of Committee on Special Education/Preschool Special Education Chairperson. Dr. Fox then moved into the role of Assistant Superintendent for several years before becoming the Deputy Superintendent, the position she currently holds in Nanuet.
Dr. Fox completed her doctoral studies in Educational Leadership, Management, and Policy at Seton Hall University. Her doctoral research has been published numerous times in professional journals and was most recently cited during testimony on standardized testing to the New Jersey Joint Committee on Public Schools. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This is so true. My senior year my dad was in the emergency room and the next day I forgot my cleats for my softball game and my coach and team was so angry at me. No one cared enough to ask.

I'm just watching this as part of my PD for the week at 7:30pm and now I have tears streaming down my face. Thank you for sharing this.

Your Mrs. O’Hara was my Mrs. Parrott. I teach in grad school and just attended a trauma Informed Pedagogy training session. This subsequently lead me to watch your talk. It all came flooding back as I recalled me at age 15. The whole time through the training session I experienced empathy but had completely suppressed the memories of my teenage years. Watching you has resurfaced it all and I’m glad about this. I have students in my institution who are going through a lot right now. I need to be a Mrs. Parrott. Thank you for helping me realize this ❤️

[@graysengordon6387]

@Arjun Nickolas Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@graysengordon6387]

@Arjun Nickolas DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED! Literally hacked my Instagram account after about 40 mins of using the site. Thank you so much, you saved my account !

Being trustworthy is completely underrated. We cannot build a healthy society if we don't feel safe. We gotta teach our kids that being trustworthy means that you are reliable and that nurtures healthy relationships.

[@cindyandrew8981]

Amen! Thank you for sharing your story and your passion for helping make the world a better place.

[@carlacarlisle1946]

Thank you for sharing your journey and using your tragedy to help others. It really matters so very much.

[@krisfelicello3727]

Powerful!

[@andyburnett8012]

Thank you Dr Fox for such an emotional and positive story - I am researching trauma informed schools for an interview as a behaviour outreach teacher which I am attending tomorrow. I have learned more from your amazing presentation and personal story than I think I would ever have learned from reading training material! You are an inspiration :)

[@nadineeliott8615]

Thank you for sharing

[@barbararose3035]

Very inspirtional.

[@CrispyHulk1]

Beautiful presentation. While most kids don’t experience high impact trauma like the death of a direct family member, I think education institutes should mandate trauma training for all teachers regardless because it is vital in the development of those effected young people.

[@danag812]

Very informative with a very touching ending :)

[@manuelacunha7153]

Now I understand what this whole movement is.....watched Frontline documentary last evening.....from September 11th to racial disparities...to COVID...there's been so much. Let's hope that a strong faith practice is the balance to the psychology of teaching and learning.....
