Illinois will seek to address student trauma under measure signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker
In addition to creating a new standard assessment for children entering kindergarten, attempting to increase the number of Black teachers in Illinois and seeking to improve the teaching of Black history in the state’s schools, the Black Caucus’ education agenda created a Whole Child Task Force.
In addition to collecting new data, the new law also requires training for teachers on “trauma-informed practices” prior to the start of the each school year beginning in 2024 and codifies definitions of trauma and other related terms. “We all know that all things aren’t equal, and we have to stop treating them as though they are,” Lightford said.While praising the state’s efforts to date, Colleen Cicchetti, executive director of the Center for Childhood Resilience at Lurie Children’s Hospital and a member of the state task force, acknowledged, “Today is the beginning.”
