Background:
|
In Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), a Trauma Sensitive Schools model has been developed and adopted to better serve students holistically. The model includes activities and strategies which early evaluation outcomes show overall better mental wellness of students leading to better academic outcomes. The District is implementing social and emotional learning, Restorative Practices, anti-bullying efforts and a school-based mental health project all within a multi-tiered system of support. A multi-tiered system of support traditionally has three tiers or levels of layered supports. Tier 1 supports are offered for all students, which in a trauma sensitive schools model includes social and emotional learning, relationship building, anti-bullying efforts and mental health and wellness education. The Second Step curriculum is being used for most students K-8; Act Now! bullying prevention curriculum is being used with students K-5; and Restorative Practices is being used at traditional middle schools and high schools. Tier 2 includes individual and small group intervention and mental health consultation including collaboration with families and community partners. Tier 3 includes an education wraparound focus that can include therapeutic intervention and in-depth collaboration and planning between students, staff, family, and community. |
