I’m excited to let you know that I’ve just wrapped up a major project – a complete revamp of our Trauma-Informed Practices Online Course.
It’s been a challenging but incredibly fulfilling journey, and I can’t wait to share the updated course with you!
For those who might be less familiar, childhood trauma can have a profound impact on students’ behavior and learning. Many of the challenges we see in the classroom are linked to experiences like abuse, neglect, or family instability.
These aren’t just “bad” behaviors; they’re often signs of deeper struggles stemming from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
Here are some eye-opening statistics:
– 1 in 3 U.S. children has faced at least one ACE.
– 1 in 7 have encountered two or more ACEs.
– By age four, 26% of children will have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event.
Our updated course dives into understanding these challenges and offers practical strategies for supporting students in a compassionate, trauma-informed way. The goal is to help us create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive, regardless of their past experiences.
Here’s what you get when you enroll in the Trauma-Informed Online Course:
➡️ 10 Trauma-Informed Instructional Modules
➡️ Access to the course for 9 months
➡️ Digital Resource Bundle: Lifetime Access to Resources
➡️ Self-paced and flexible learning
➡️ 12 hours of Professional Growth Points & Completion Certificate
➡️ Downloadable Handout for Note-Taking
One quote that really inspired me throughout this project is: “All of the risk factors for adverse experiences can be offset by the presence of a stable, caring adult in a child’s life.”
This course is designed to help us be that stable, caring presence for our students.
Thanks for your continued dedication to making a positive difference in your students’ lives. You’re the real MVP!
P.S. In case you’re wondering why I’m sporting shorts and house slippers in the picture – just a fun behind-the-scenes tidbit for you!
