Trauma-Informed Classroom Strategies

Join educators and clinicians in a discussion of the trauma-informed approach to teaching youth.

What

Explicit instruction is a systematic, direct, data-driven and research-based approach to teaching students who are affected by symptoms related to trauma. The principles of explicit instruction have been validated to improve both the academic and social skills of students with and without disabilities.

This conference is designed for educators and school administrators and will focus on explicit instruction and trauma-informed classroom strategies. Background on the effects of trauma on students and their learning will be discussed along with teaching strategies that take the effects of trauma into consideration. Both topics are associated with improving educational outcomes for all students.

Who

Educators and school administrators working in typical and alternative school settings.
