Students and teachers alike often navigate various forms of stress and trauma in their everyday lives. In the ever-changing landscape of higher education, instructors must be prepared to support learners with flexibility and care. This workshop equips participants with a trauma-informed approach to teaching, anchored in compassion, preparedness, and accessibility. Participants will discuss the importance of trauma-informed teaching, explore effective strategies, and practice techniques to build optimism and engagement in our learning spaces.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- explain the importance of trauma-informed teaching
- name signifiers of trauma among students
- articulate multiple trauma-informed teaching strategies
