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!

She is currently a middle school teacher of at-risk students and the Trauma-Informed Specialist for An Achievable Dream Academy in Virginia. Through her experience of raising three boys through their own adverse childhood experiences(ACEs), Suzanne discovered the science of trauma and toxic stress on the brain. Together with her education experience and her success in guiding her own children through their adversity, Suzanne created ACEs in Education to bring awareness and understanding of the science of toxic stress on our children and in our classrooms and to better equip educators in the matter of Trauma-Informed Care.

" We may not be able to stop the trauma from happening, but we can give students the skills and strategies to manage the intensity, through intentional teaching in a safe, predictable environment" -Kristin Souers, Fostering Resilient Learners
