Trauma Exposure-Brain States, Learning, & Application

Abstract: 

Participants will review the impact trauma exposure has on a developing brain, how trauma impacts a student’s learning, and how to apply a Trauma Informed approach into our daily practice as educators (i.e. behavior plans, teaching strategies, facilitating meetings, self-care).
