This course provides an integrated approach for future and current educators to teach students who have experienced trauma by examining the student’s emotional, social, and academic needs. Students will gain knowledge and understanding of the neurological, physiological, and psycho-social effects of childhood trauma and its impact on student learning, attention, and social interactions. Course content will further focus on assisting current and future educators in creating positive school environments that seek to identify, support, and better understand students’ cognitive and behavioral related manifestations of trauma.
