My Project

Fully half the students in U.S. schools have experienced trauma, violence, or chronic stress. In the face of this epidemic, it falls increasingly to teachers to provide the adult support these students need to function in school. But most educators have received little training to prepare them for this role. It is time for educational institutions and those who work within them to change their approaches and responses to traumatic symptoms that manifest in students in schools and colleges. These changes can alter how and what we teach, how we train teachers, how we structure our calendars and create our schedules, how we address student behavior and disciplinary issues, and how we design our physical space.

I would love to take this intensive course to learn how to better support these learners in our school.

By taking this course, which describes the effects of trauma on body and mind, and how to recognize them in students’ behavior, I hope to be a better teacher for my students.
