Disengagement in Broadmeadow schools is much worse than the surrounding areas and other communities in Australia. Working with the Northern Centre for Excellence in School Engagement (NCESE), we will create a framework for implementing trauma informed education to increase engagement in schools. To do this we first need to understand barriers and strategies to implement trauma informed education, through interviews with experts. To propose a framework we reviewed literature on the topic of change management. From those methods we recommend that schools have a form to share their practices, to spread ideas and alleviate uncertainty in those ideas, have in person meetings with teachers and principals from different schools where they can discuss aspects trauma informed education, and to use the REDUCE framework proposed in The Catalyst to reduce the barriers to change.
