As we announced in our January–March 2013 issue, the publisher and editor of the Journal of Teaching in Social Work have inaugurated an annual Florence W. Vigilante Award in honor of its founding editor. As a lasting tribute to Dr. Vigilante, this award will recognize the best article published in the preceding year.
We are pleased to announce that the winners of the Fourth Annual Florence W. Vigilante Award are the authors of the article titled, “Practicing What We Teach: Trauma-Informed Educational Practice,” which was published in Volume 35, Issue 3 (2015). The article presents the starting case for applying the elements of trauma-informed care to education and outlines the authors’ initial efforts to develop guidelines for what they call trauma-informed educational practice.
We congratulate co-authors Janice Carello and Lisa D. Butler of the Buffalo Center for Social Research at the SUNY Buffalo School of Social Work. In recognition of the importance of their contribution, we have posted the entire article online at www.tandfonline.com/WTSW and made it available as a free download in PDF format for printing.
We are very proud of Ms. Carello and Professor Butler and of their seminal contribution to the scholarship of our profession. They are worthy recipients of the Fourth Annual Florence W. Vigilante Award.
