Course Description:

Do you have students who have trouble following multi-step directions or need extra support to memorize key concepts? What about students with behavioral issues or students that show dissociative symptoms? Think about the students who struggle with understanding cause and effect or staying regulated and calm. Children who have experienced trauma are likely to have changes in their neurobiology that change how they interact with their environment, even while at school in YOUR classroom.

Trauma-Responsive Strategies for Early Childhood offers an overview of trauma and its impact on young children, as well as specific strategies and techniques educators and administrators can use to create classroom and school communities that improve the quality of care for this vulnerable population. Author Katie Statman-Weil has synthesized research-based information in an accessible way. Focusing on the four different domains of cognitive, language, physical, and social-emotional, the author uses vignettes to explore how trauma can be expressed in the classroom and what teachers can do about it.


Join Stephanie Scott for this virtual book study to build your knowledge about expression of trauma in the early elementary classroom while focusing on cognitive, language, physical and social emotional development!

Required Material:
Trauma-Responsive Strategies for Early Childhood,(2020) By Katie Statman-Weil.
