EDU 766 - Sustaining Social and Emotional Learning Through Trauma Informed Care

(1)

By exploring the link between SEL and trauma informed care the course will inform educators on how to create a safe and reliable environment where students who have experienced adversities and trauma feel supported, are welcome to explore their strengths and identities, exercise their agency, can develop meaningful, positive relationships with adults and peers in their learning community, and have access to the mental health supports they need. In addition, educators will learn strategies to work develop and model their own social-emotional skills, use self-care practices that allow them to be supportive adults for their students, and actively engage mental health supports as their need for them arises.
