Course Description
This course introduces students to the meaning and prevalence of adverse childhood experiences and examines the impact these experiences have on relationships and learning. The course will explore the science and research behind learning for students to make the connection between childhood trauma and what happens in a classroom setting. We will explore the best practice of approaching future students through a lens of trauma sensitivity and begin to examine how to create a trauma sensitive learning environment. We will keep in mind our own self-care and needs as we develop a plan to nurture our own resiliency.
