Feeling too stressed to teach? When student behavior feels overwhelming and nothing seems to be working, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But sometimes, the biggest shift isn’t in your classroom—it’s in how you see it.
In this episode Jesica Glover speaks with Trish Zenczak, a high school teacher and mentor, about supporting trauma-impacted students with a kingdom perspective. Drawing from her own experiences in the foster care system and 15 years in education, Trish emphasizes the importance of seeing challenging behaviors as a cry for connection rather than mere attention-seeking. She encourages teachers to respond with empathy, patience, and an awareness of students' deeper needs for belonging and security.
To better support trauma-impacted students, Trish offers these key strategies:
- Reinforce Classroom Structure: Help students understand their role and purpose within the classroom to create a sense of stability.
- Equip Students with Coping Tools: Provide practical strategies to manage emotions and navigate challenges.
- Prioritize Connection Over Control: Build relationships that make students feel seen, valued, and cared for.
- Empower Student Identities: Focus on strengthening students' confidence and voice rather than unpacking their trauma stories in the classroom.
Rooted in biblical principles, this conversation provides Christian educators with practical guidance on creating classrooms that foster healing, growth, and transformation.
