Foundations for a Trauma-Responsive Classroom
The experts all agree that one of the key elements of being a trauma-informed school is that all school staff have a foundational knowledge of trauma and its impact and what it means to practice trauma-informed care. During this transformational session, leaders and teachers in your building will be empowered as the agents of change as the lens they are using to view students shifts from, “What’s wrong with this student?” to “What’s happened to this student?” This session will then provide a framework for the practice of trauma-informed care and will provide guidance and practical tools on integrating trauma informed resilience-building strategies into the school and its classrooms.
