    Course Description

    Every day, an increasing number of students experience trauma that may adversely affect their learning, relationships, and life-trajectories.

    According to the Department of Justice, more than half of children in the U.S. were exposed to trauma in the past year, and 40% are direct victims of multiple acts of violence (higher percentages are represented in urban schools). This study also shows that students exposed to violence are more likely to be delinquent, struggle in and drop out of school; as well as to suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, abuse drugs and alcohol, and engage in criminal activities (https://www.justice.gov/archives/defendingchildhood/facts-about-children-and-violence). Trauma can greatly affect students' ability to learn. But through trauma-informed instruction, teachers and other educators can be factors of healing towards success, despite these odds. This course guides educators through a paradigm shift, toward deeper understanding, heightened sensitivity, and increased efficacy in teaching students affected by trauma.

    Teacher comment: "This class has the power to deliver an educator from toxic stress and ensure that a person's teaching career is not only successful but happy and invigorating! The research outlined in this class on the social brain - is revolutionary! In addition, if teaching in a classroom can be likened to driving a car full of kids, then I feel I've been driving my car without a 4th wheel. This class gave me the 4th wheel I needed (which is the understanding of how to build healthy relationships in and outside of the classroom) to make my teaching experience a smooth ride. Why wasn't this course offered to me before? This course is outstanding and I finally feel I have the missing piece to a successful teaching career! Thank you Education4Equity for creating an online course that revived my teaching passion." (5 Stars)
