Trauma impacts nearly 26% of children in the United States. These traumatic events can have a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn and adapt to social norms in a classroom. As educators, it is important that we recognize the different types of trauma and find practical ways to address the challenges that children impacted by trauma bring to school.
You will learn concrete strategies to help students in your classroom cope with their trauma and continue to learn and have meaningful relationships with others at school. We will focus on identifying different types of trauma and how each impacts a children’s ability to learn. Together we will walk through a day in the life of a student who has experienced trauma so that we can better understand these sometimes challenging behaviors and find better ways to help meet the needs of those who are suffering in our classrooms.
