About the Session:
Trauma informed education, appropriately, is becoming an increasingly common topic of conversation in Canadian schools. Circumstances such as domestic violence, abuse, neglect and addiction are examples of what is happening within families that dramatically affects a child’s development, and it significantly impedes their capacity to learn. This two-day workshop illuminates the significance that trauma has on the brain, on relationships, and on the way learning happens within our classrooms. As educators it’s not enough to say we teach subjects - we are teaching students. And each one of them may or may not be in a position to learn at their maximum capacity due to their personal life experiences they bring with them. This workshop invites you to understand a bit more about the science behind behaviour and learning, and how educators can help bring out the best in all of their students.
