[YOUR GREETING]

Kids aren’t broken. But many of the ways in which we support them are. 

Too many kids bring the traumas of poverty, hunger, racism, stress, and family and community violence with them into the classroom. If teachers aren’t equipped to hold space for them in a loving, supportive way, their entire life trajectories can be impacted. 

In this thoughtful book for educators, Marcia Ranglin-Vassell brings to life a pathway for transforming schools from the inside out, making classrooms havens for healing as well as learning. Through her own story and firsthand experience as a teacher and educational leader, Ranglin-Vassell not only shows us what we need to know about children’s trauma, but also presents simple, easy-to-implement ideas and advice that can make an immediate difference to kids of all ages. 

Regardless of their life experiences, all children are beautiful, whole, and resilient. Our job isn’t to fix them, but to believe in them, and show them a better way.

When it comes to education, teachers face far bigger challenges than just helping kids assimilate information and pass tests. In many cases, they are the “first responders” for kids struggling with trauma, hunger, and violence, as well as racism and systemic oppression.

Expert educator and former RI State Representative Marcia Ranglin-Vassell addresses this challenge head-on in her powerful new book, Transforming Schools: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Teaching, Learning, and Healing. Through her own story and firsthand experience as a teacher and educational leader, Ranglin-Vassell brings to life a pathway for making classrooms havens for healing as well as learning, and presents simple, easy-to-implement ideas and advice that can make an immediate difference to kids of all ages. 

From the Introduction to Transforming Schools:

“Teachers, the students in your classroom are not broken. However, they carry with them the trauma and toxic stress that represent failed government policies and systems that couldn’t care less about their humanity. Systems that would rather build costly new prisons as opposed to new schools with the resources necessary to uplift our student populations. I have spent decades calling out broken government systems that have “othered” children and families living in poverty. I know that kids are hurting academically, socially, and mentally. It’s the reason this book goes well beyond the traditional approach to teaching and learning, suggesting a pathway where emotional intelligence and academic intelligence flourish side by side. I’m tired of seeing so many of our brightest fail because of education systems that have failed them. This book is a call to action in creating transformative schools.”

Too many kids bring the traumas of poverty, hunger, racism, stress, and family and community violence with them into the classroom.

If teachers aren’t equipped to hold space for them in a loving, supportive way, their entire life trajectories can be impacted. 

That’s why I’m calling all of my educator friends and family to read this thought-provoking new book by education expert and former RI State Representative Marcia Ranglin-Vassell.

Post #2

“Teacher, activist, former lawmaker, author, expert advisor, parent, and now architect of a plan for transformative change in our collective mindset about what it means to educate, Marcia Ranglin-Vassell knows that you can’t teach a student you can’t reach. Bridging communication gaps is not only about language or ideology, it’s also about cultural relevance; creating environments that facilitate acceptance, growth, and self-expression; and fostering emotional development as a conduit for intellectual development.”

- From the Foreword by Melissa Jenkins Mangili, PhD to Transforming Schools: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Teaching, Learning, and Healing

Marcia Ranglin-Vassell is an education expert and former RI State Representative on a mission to change the way educators and schools support kids from all backgrounds.

If you’re an educator, you NEED to read this book. The more we understand how to meet kids where they are, the better we will be able to support them to thrive despite the personal and systemic challenges they face.
