Trauma-Inspired Pedagogy - Cancelled

This cutting-edge workshop fills a critical need for educators at all levels. Children, teens, and young adults face a world that is constantly changing in uncertain and stressful ways including the COVID-19 pandemic, school shootings, social media bullying, and much, much more. Students look to their educators for guidance in traumatic and uncertain times, and educators often do not have the necessary tools to effectively respond.

Trauma-Inspired Pedagogy is a 15-hour workshop that provides educators with a foundation upon which to assist students through traumatic situations. This workshop addresses the basics of trauma-inspired teaching, types of trauma, trauma management techniques in the classroom and digital learning environment, ADA compliance, overcoming social inequality that results from trauma exposure, integrating trauma-informed pedagogies in the classroom, and identifying support services at the state, local, and national level as well as online communities. 

This workshop includes a mix of lecture, discussion, and projects designed to provide educators with learning tools and resources to integrate trauma management into all areas of instruction.

Workshop meetings will be conducted online via Zoom. Assignments and resources will be provided on Canvas. Reserve your space today!
