Trauma-informed care is an approach to engaging people with histories of trauma that recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role that trauma has played in their lives. One of the key components of building organizational capacity for trauma-informed care is professional education and development. Staff need education about how trauma affects consumers seeking services, what trauma-informed care is, how to create safe environments for persons served, and ways to avoid re-traumatizing practices.

During the past few standstill, yet whirlwind, months, we’ve all done our best as educational first responders in this pandemic. We’ve triaged, supported and nurtured learning from afar using any tools we could muster. And while we don’t know what school will look like in the fall and beyond, we can be fairly confident that it will continue to require flexibility and adaptation in how we deliver instruction and assess learning. So let’s get ready now to be less stressed in the fall!

Course Objectives:

1) Educators will apply existing skills with G Suite in ways that are innovative, pedagogically sound and student-focused. 2) Educators will explore apps and use and tools that prompt creative lesson design, offer new ways for students to demonstrate learning and inspire innovative teaching in multiple learning formats.
