Trauma Informed Teaching: Brain Science and the Trauma Informed Classroom with Ariane Simard
Friday, April 30, 2021
6:00 am – 6:15 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
12 PM Vienna l 6 AM New York
The OSUN Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives are pleased to invite OSUN members to the "Trauma Informed Educators Workshop and Lecture Series," developed by Ariane Simard from Bard College Berlin.
Trauma Informed Education is an approach that recognizes the influence and impact of trauma on students and educators in the classroom and takes into account how factors including racism, sexism, poverty, community violence, migrant and refugee status, mental health issues, addiction, abuse and neglect can hinder academic achievement as well as personal growth and functioning.
Drawing on studies on education, brain development and the lasting effects of trauma, as well as some nonviolent communication techniques, this workshop series aims to provide educators with a new understanding on how trauma can affect a student’s ability to function as well as offer up some tools for creating a more trauma informed classroom where educators can begin to model the kind of techniques that will help create new pathways of learning.
In the third session, led by Louise Godblod of Echo, it was discussed that part of becoming trauma-informed means understanding how biochemistry and the traumatized brain functions and how fight/flight/freeze response translates into less than ideal student behavior. We discussed what can we do as educators to make our classrooms places where students not only learn the subjects we are teaching, but actually learn resilience.
Reviewing the information we learned about the brain, how trauma affects brain chemistry and the methods we learned about dealing with these effects, at this event we will workshop ways to turn these tools into lesson plans and learning objectives. Instructors should be prepared to discuss an assignment they regularly teach and should have either attended or viewed the recording of Louse Godbold’s April 27th workshop on Brain Science and the Trauma Informed Classroom.
