Beginning with the biological, environmental, and sociocultural aspects of traumatic experience on learners and how they can typically manifest in the classroom, using relevant, real-world examples. Specific strategies from the Trauma and Learning Policy Initiative and the Center for Responsive Schools will be covered. Participants will analyze their current environment and identify areas of improvement to implement trauma-sensitive design in the classroom to support students who have been impacted by trauma. Participants will also have the opportunity to collaborate with peers to share successful best practices from their own experiences.
