ACES IN EDUCATION
We help educators create trauma informed classrooms where all students can thrive and teachers can teach.
What if all of your students were thriving and distractions were at a minimum?
What would your classroom feel like if every student was calm and attentive and focused?
To be able to teach without the distractions of inattentive students and behavior problems is what teachers strive for. While we will never be able to eliminate all of the issues, through an understanding of the impact of trauma on our students, we can remedy many. ACEs In Education can give you the training and tools to meet even your most distressed students needs, while allowing you to do what you do best, TEACH!

ACEs in Education will provide your staff with professional development. We offer 90-minute, half-day, or full-day presentations on the science of ACEs, the impact of trauma on students’ brains and behavior, and how teachers can create a more trauma-sensitive classroom.
