NME/Trauma Informed Practices
Neurosequential Model of Education Therapeutics
The Neurosequential Model in Education (NME) draws upon the NMT, a neurodevelopmentally-informed, biologically respectful perspective on human development and functioning, to help educators understand student behavior and performance.
The goals of NME are to educate faculty and students in basic concepts of neurosequential development and then teach them how to apply this knowledge to the teaching and learning process. NME is not a specific “intervention”; it is a way to educate school staff about brain development and developmental trauma and then to further teach them how to apply that knowledge to their work with students in and outside the classroom, particularly those students with adverse childhood experiences.
Trauma-informed practices (TIPs) aim to understand and respond to the impact of trauma on people's lives. TIPs are based on the idea that trauma can affect people's neurological, biological, psychological, and social development. The goal of TIPs is to create a safe and caring environment that prevents re-traumatization and empowers people to regain control of their lives.
TIPs can help create a safe culture, build relationships, and support students' self-efficacy.
