Two teachers talking trauma, teaching and spilling the tea. Join us, Addison & Lauren, as we explore the learning discovered through our implementation of trauma informed practices. What does it mean to spill the tea? We recognize that the reality of teaching is not always rainbows and butterflies. One day the calming area works and the next day it doesn’t. We’re here to spill the tea (share the truth) about how tough this job can be, while offering research, recommendations, and takeaways for your own room.
