My Project
This is a professional development course: "Trauma is a silent force shaping behavior, learning, and well-being in schools — and few people are better equipped to help you address this pressing classroom issue than education specialist Chanelle Walker, M.Ed. In this eye-opening, self-paced online FTBT Partner course, she provides educators and frontline staff with the knowledge and tools to address trauma’s impact on students and learning, and create compassionate, resilient learning environments"
What I'll Learn:
Understanding Trauma: Explore the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), community violence, and other traumas on behavior, achievement, and mental health.
Neurobiological Insights: Learn how trauma affects brain development and impacts emotional regulation and learning.
Trauma-Informed Practices: Gain actionable strategies to create safe, supportive environments that foster resilience and healing.
Self-Care for Educators: Discover techniques to promote your own mental well-being and prevent burnout while supporting others.
