Kristin Pfotenhauer has worked with leadership teams to incorporate trauma sensitive practices and integrate classroom practices that utilize productive student voice and English learner support.  In her 38 years of experience as an educator/principal, her work with trauma sensitive practices demonstrated the greatest transformation of student behavior and engagement as well as teacher resilience and self-efficacy.  She witnessed increases in compassion, patience, empathy, and decreases in conflict and personalization as the staff and site incorporated these strategies into their policies and practices.
