Jim Sporleder retired in 2014 as Principal of Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, WA. Under Jim’s leadership and collaborating with community partners, Lincoln High School became a “Trauma-Informed” school, gaining national attention due to a dramatic drop in out-of-school suspensions, increased graduation rates, and the number of students going on to post-secondary education. In this presentation, participants will learn that a community’s collective trauma-responsive approach, benefits all students, and develops positive adult relationships that can change the life path of students who have lost hope. The participants will learn how we can accomplish a lot as a team and will do much less if we stay in our silos.
