The Mastery School is changing the way our schools work with trauma, and with the support of a strong network, Paula Bump is ensuring that not only her teachers and students have a successful year, but her entire staff.

“Washburn and Jaton, a NAZ Health Access Specialist, did professional development with the whole staff — everybody from teachers to maintenance were there … Now, they’re coming in weekly and building tools for teachers on how to work with children with trauma and what they’re facing now.”

“Last quarter, I had like three F’s, I wasn’t doing very good. I was goofing off, just didn’t want to do the work. And then my mom came and made me start doing it. [My coach] Kani helped me a lot.

He helped me strategize a way to get the work done. After we strategized and got the work organized, I did it — because I actually put the effort into it. Those F’s turned into B’s.”

“We pay for medical through our job. For me, I want to get an operation. My son is allergic to tree nuts and also fish and he doesn’t have an EpiPen right now; to have an EpiPen is like $400. So the questions become: does he have to die because he’s allergic to fish or do we not pay our mortgage because he needs an EpiPen? Just knowing that we can save a year’s worth of daycare is immense.”
