Summary - Trauma-Informed Teaching Strategies for All Learners P26.4452. Online registration by Cvent

Do you wish you had strategies to offset the effects of trauma in the lives of your students? This online course is specifically designed for teachers in grades PreK-6 who are looking to dig deeper into the principles of trauma-informed teaching and how effective strategies such as restorative practices, strengthening student-teacher relationships, designing a safe classroom, and encouraging pro-social behaviors can make a difference. Teachers are provided with thorough background information on the foundations of trauma-informed teaching, as well as a wide variety of strategies to facilitate the process of healing from trauma. The five core competencies of social-emotional learning are discussed, and teachers are provided multiple strategies to deliver social-emotional learning through a trauma-informed lens. Specific strategies that educators can implement within their own classroom environment to foster a culture of safety and encourage pro-social behaviors are also shared. Finally, teachers will learn what it truly means to embody the characteristics of a trauma-informed teacher and how to prevent secondary traumatic stress and burnout in their own lives by cultivating resilience and mindfulness. By the end of this course, teachers will be well prepared to implement critical trauma-informed practices to offset the effects of trauma in their students’ lives.
