Trauma-Informed Educators' Collaborative
–
09/21/2023In this collaborative, we will be focusing on the Four R’s of Trauma-Informed Care from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as it relates to student development and school culture. Each session will offer evidence-based practices that will help you develop a deeper understanding of trauma, its impact on both educators’ and students’ learning and engagement, and strategies for avoiding re-traumatization. Additionally, we will guide participants through professional standards of care that can help to prevent burnout and assist in building better relationships with colleagues and students. Training will be given in a learning and workshopping format and geared toward School Counselors, School Psychologists, and School Resource Officers, along with any other educator wishing to learn the most influential trauma-informed practices for their district. Attendance at all four sessions is required. Session 1: REALIZE the impact of trauma on student learning and the impact it has on school climate Session 2: RECOGNIZE the signs of trauma in students, families, staff members, and the community Session 3: RESPOND by integrating evidence-based practices related to trauma into your school and district Session 4: RESIST re-traumatization of students, families, and staff.

Using the book Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation (Cobb & Krownapple, 2019) and the PA Department of Education’s framework for equity, inclusion, and belonging (EIB), participants will delve into systemic trauma-informed practices that ensure all students feel safe and connected at school.
