Evolution of a Trauma-Informed Educator – Fall 2021 Cohort

This program dives deeply into understanding the context in which learning is taking place. Neuroscience can help us understand what is happening for educators and students in moments of dysregulation, so teachers can learn how to support regulation for students and classrooms. You’ll learn to use brain and body state awareness to guide you in applying strategies and learn how to talk to others about the science behind the strategies you’re using. Exploring an embodied approach, we’ll focus on safety and belonging, along with promoting reflective self-awareness, all vital pieces in creating new options for behavior.  You will get support as you work through the challenges in doing this work, as you practice applying what you already know, while gaining multiple perspectives and new insights.

  • Participants will learn the neurobiology impacting behavior in moments of dysregulation.
  • Participants will gain skills in recognizing dysregulation in students so they can intervene before it continues to escalate.
  • Participants will learn how to identify reasonable expectations and goals in different moments and situations. 
  • Participants will learn the neuroscience behind when and how different strategies are effective.
  • Participants will learn to regulate in moments of dysregulation, helping them avoid exhaustion and burnout. 
  • Participants will learn how to teach the skills involved in mastering the ability to self-regulate. 
  • Participants will learn how to support growing students’ windows of tolerance, so they can more effectively re-wire the brains and re-pattern the nervous systems of their students.
  • Participants will understand the obstacles involved in building relationships with some students.
