Creating a Trauma Informed Resilience Focused Classroom and School
Transform your educational environment into a space where all students can thrive, especially those who have experienced trauma. This comprehensive foundation-setting session guides participants through the essential 10 steps to creating a trauma-informed, resilience-focused school culture.
Led by a Starr Certified Trauma and Resilience Trainer in Education (CTRT-E), this learning experience balances the science of trauma with practical, resilience-building strategies. Participants will explore: ● The neurobiological impact of trauma on child development and learning ● Key approaches to establishing psychological and physical safety in educational settings ● Evidence-based methods for fostering meaningful connections between students and educators ● Practical techniques for embedding social-emotional skill development throughout the school day ● The critical role of play and joyful engagement in building resilience
Through interactive activities and collaborative discussion, educators will develop a deeper understanding of trauma's effects while gaining actionable strategies to implement immediately. This session emphasizes a strength-based approach that benefits all students while particularly supporting those who have experienced adversity.
Participants will leave with practical strategies for creating resilience-focused classrooms and schools, including environmental assessment guides, relationship-building activities, and trauma-responsive intervention strategies that can be adapted for various educational contexts. Join us to learn how to create educational spaces where every child can develop the resilience needed to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
