SUMMARY:Building Resilient Classrooms: Trauma-Informed Strategies for Educators
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Building Resilient Classrooms: Trauma-Informed Strategies for Educators! \nIn today’s classrooms\, students bring with them a wide range of life experiences; some of which include trauma\, adversity\, and chronic stress. These experiences can significantly impact behavior\, learning\, and relationships. This interactive training empowers educators with the knowledge\, skills\, and tools to create trauma-informed learning environments that promote safety\, connection\, and resilience. \nParticipants will explore the impact of trauma on brain development and student behavior\, learn practical strategies for fostering emotional regulation and positive relationships\, and develop classroom practices that support all learners; especially those affected by trauma. Grounded in evidence-based approaches and framed through a lens of equity and care\, this workshop is designed to help educators build stronger\, more responsive\, and more inclusive classrooms. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstand how trauma affects learning\, behavior\, and development\nIdentify signs of trauma and stress in students\nLearn classroom strategies that promote safety\, consistency\, and connection\nFoster resilience through relationship-building and co-regulation\nDevelop a trauma-informed mindset and instructional approach\n\nPlease note: \nEvent links will be shared with the registered email. \nACT 48 hours are available upon request for certified teachers in Pennsylvania. \nDr. Ken Smythe-Leistico is the Director of Field Education (MSW) and Associate Professor in the Department of Social Work at Carlow University.
