Description
- What every school-based pro needs to know about trauma
- Dozens of practical classroom supports and interventions that build resilience
- “Connect then Redirect” strategies that really work in responding to problem behaviors
It’s the first 10 minutes of the school day.
One student is refusing to enter the classroom. Another with a hood over their head. And one is already asleep at their desk.
But this isn’t just defiance, apathy, disrespect, and lack of control … It’s trauma. And if you want to help these students learn you need to have the right tools.
That’s why we created this training with Sarah Sherman.
She has over 20 years in the classroom, served as a university instructor and specializes in helping educators and administrators understand and implement trauma-informed practices and policies.
In just one day she’ll give you the skills and practical supports you need to reduce problem behaviors and build a school where students feel safe, connected, and ready to learn.
Whether you’re a general education teacher, SPED teacher, school counselor, social worker, SLP, paraprofessional or administrator this training will show you how to:
- Create a sense of safety, trust, and agency so students can move out their survival brain
- Add supports to meet needs, address lagging skills, and reduce risk, so students are reinforced with a sense of success
- Teach kids skills to replace maladaptive coping strategies
- Repair relationships and collaboratively problem solve with students
- Use a complete toolbox of “Connect and Redirect” strategies to respond to behavior challenges
Fewer disruptions. Stronger relationships. Better learning outcomes for all.
This training gives you the roadmap to make it happen.
