Bill 117 HR 7784, also known as the Supporting Trauma-Informed Education Practices Act of 2022, aims to promote trauma-informed practices in schools across the United States. The bill recognizes the impact of trauma on students' academic performance and overall well-being, and seeks to provide resources and training for educators to better support students who have experienced trauma.
The bill outlines several key provisions, including the establishment of a grant program to support schools in implementing trauma-informed practices. These grants would be used to provide training for teachers and staff, develop trauma-informed curriculum and resources, and create support systems for students who have experienced trauma.
Additionally, the bill calls for the creation of a national clearinghouse of resources and best practices for trauma-informed education. This clearinghouse would serve as a central hub for educators to access information and tools to support students who have experienced trauma.
Overall, the Supporting Trauma-Informed Education Practices Act of 2022 aims to create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students, particularly those who have experienced trauma. By providing resources, training, and support for educators, the bill seeks to improve outcomes for students and help them succeed academically and emotionally.
