<p>In The School Wellness Wheel: A Framework Addressing Trauma, Culture, and Mastery to Raise Student Achievement, authors Mike Ruyle, Libby Child, and Nancy Dome provide a framework to respond to students' cognitive, social, and emotional needs. Childhood trauma and stress can have long-lasting repercussions on students' physical and emotional growth. The authors assert that schools can evolve to address student trauma and promote wellness and healing. Educators can create safe and supportive environments by incorporating the three points on which the school wellness wheel pivots-(1) mastery-based learning, (2) trauma-responsive systems, and (3) culturally responsive teaching-into their educational practices and procedures. By reading this book, educators learn how to create a resilience-centered school, conducive to student growth and healing.</p>

<p>Students' mental health has a dramatic impact on their cognitive development and ability to succeed academically-and more students struggle with anxiety and depression than ever before. Authors Mike Ruyle, Awachíikaate (Jason D. Cummins), Libby Child, and Donyall D. Dickey assert that teachers, with their training in education, are well equipped to shape students' cognitive and emotional well-being. In Humanized Education: A Mastery-Based Framework to Promote Student Growth and Strength, Ruyle, Cummins, Child, and Dickey demonstrate that schools are the ideal environments for crucial social-emotional development to take place. By incorporating key social-emotional skills in the classroom, teachers can impact students' mental health and, in turn, bolster their academic achievement. Their school wellness flywheel offers a holistic approach that emphasizes growth-based, strength-based, and mastery-based learning. With implementation strategies, practical tools, and key insights, Humanized Education will have teachers and leaders well on their way to making their vision of student wellness a reality.</p>
