Your superpower?
Constant attention, caring awareness, sensitivity – as a teacher these come second nature to you. All of these will come into play as you learn how to connect, convey safety, show trustworthiness and transparency – all in the name of providing a safe, open, trauma-informed learning environment. No mask or cape, just your passion for teaching young people.
A connection.
Deep, meaningful conversations – rooted in a wide perception allowing you to identify and respond with empathy to those potentially displaying the effects of previous trauma. Through this course, with an emphasis on understanding techniques to create and sustain a trauma-informed learning environment, you’ll know how to communicate, accept, and validate these emotions in others.
Sounds like a lot to learn.
It is. But we’ve got your back. We’ve divided the course into four bite-sized pieces in a range of learning styles like interactive assignments, videos showing classroom instruction, and real-life scenarios. No matter how you learn best, we’re right there with you.
