Twelve inclusive preschool teachers in Pyramid Model preschools in one Midwestern state participated in this study. A convergent qualitatively-oriented mixed methods study was conducted. First, participants completed a survey to measure their trauma-informed attitudes. Then, participants completed a series of two interviews and shared photos via photo-elicitation to explore their trauma-informed practices. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed separately and then merged for interpretation. Three overarching findings are discussed: (a) overall, participants had relatively high trauma-informed attitudes, (b) participants used a variety of trauma-informed practices in their classroom, and (c) trauma-informed attitudes and practices do not always align. These findings have implications for practice, policy, and future research.
