Trauma-Sensitive Strategies

Experiencing trauma can slow down or halt one’s learning ability. Students who have experienced trauma are more likely to fall behind in school or get in trouble for behavioral issues. Trauma-sensitive practices consider how trauma impacts learning and behavior. This course will guide you through using a trauma-sensitive lens to unpack strategies that look beyond behavior to help create a safe environment where students' needs can be met academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Leave this course ready to meet your students where they are if they ever face a traumatic event, and learn strategies you can implement to meet their needs best.
