Trauma-Informed Teaching Strategies

, MGC 305-306 Combo Meeting Room

Updated 1/28

In the context of economic upheaval, pervasive political conflict, and a still ongoing pandemic, students and teachers alike must grapple with trauma in their everyday lives. This session equips participants with a trauma-informed approach to teaching, anchored in compassion, preparedness, and accessibility. "Lessons from the Literature" sessions begin with a short overview of key research on a pedagogical framework followed by a roundtable discussion that connects these findings to classroom applications. Participants will discuss the importance of trauma-informed teaching, explore trauma-informed strategies, and practice tactics to build optimism and engagement in our learning spaces.
