Understand Trauma—Unlock Potential
Students entering the classroom with emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues are often at a disadvantage and struggle to keep up with the demands of traditional learning. Brains affected by trauma require a different kind of instruction—and a special kind of care.

• Learn how to unlock the potential that exists within every student
• Develop an instructional approach that recognizes and works past behaviors that can limit learning and achievement.

And so much more.
