Trauma-Informed Teaching During Ongoing Crisis
Join special guests Rhiannon Kim and Alex Shevrin Venet for this timely offering to support teachers in the current political moment.
What:
How do we show up for our students in the midst of crisis and destabilization? What does it mean to be a trauma-informed teacher when the trauma is fresh and ongoing daily? And do you do any of it when you, too, are just trying to hold it together?
There are no magic strategies for this moment in history, but trauma-informed teaching provides some guidance. In this workshop, we'll talk about:
- Your own wellbeing, sustaining your work, and navigating moral injury
- Creating felt safety during unsafe times, in our classrooms and in our bodies
- Balancing predictability and flexibility
- Considerations for talking about/processing current events
And we'll leave a good chunk of time for Q&A/to talk together as a group
