Trauma‑Informed Routines
Trauma‑informed routines create stability for students. When the school day follows clear, predictable patterns — and adults reinforce those patterns consistently — students feel safer, more regulated, and more able to learn.

​

Why This Matters
Students who have experienced trauma rely heavily on predictability. When routines shift unexpectedly or vary from classroom to classroom, students experience uncertainty and stress. Trauma‑informed routines reduce this uncertainty by giving students a clear sense of what to expect throughout the day.
A safe, emotionally supportive school environment begins with routines that are steady, consistent, and developmentally appropriate.
