Description
The Trauma-Informed Schools Questionnaire (TISQ) is a tool that answers the question: How trauma-informed and resilience-focused is your school? It measures your school staff members’ perceptions of the frequency to which they individually, and the school collectively, exhibit trauma-informed, resilience-focused knowledge and behaviors. The assessment and report build upon Starr’s 10 Steps to Create a Trauma-Informed Resilient School. Scores indicate where your school is discovering, evolving, or flourishing in each of the 10 steps and identifies where and how to best focus your school’s efforts moving forward.
Upon completion, the report serves as a key tool to:
- Identify new pathways to create sustainable, strength-based systems that provide a safe, structured, and supportive learning environment for students
- Offer guidance and support to staff
- Approach all aspects of education in trauma-informed and resilience-focused ways
- Communicate with key decision-makers, stakeholders, and funders
