Trauma Informed Teaching Lecture Series: An Introduction with Ariane Simard
Saturday, April 17, 2021
4:00 am – 6:00 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
10 AM Vienna l 4 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.
If we recognize education, as bell hooks does, as “part of our real world experience, our real life” (Democratic Education), then can we understand that trauma, in all its forms, is in the classroom and in the corporate university? As we begin to expand our teaching to include admittedly traumatized populations—be it war veterans, refugees or people who are incarcerated—we need a set of skills that can both address their trauma as well as the trauma we ourselves carry into the classroom.
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 first session with Ariane Simard of Bard College Berlin, we will introduce ourselves and discuss how we understand definitions of trauma in the classroom as well as explore definitions of cultural trauma, intergenerational trauma and institutional trauma. Because these topics get heavy at times, we will use the methods of the workshop, practice, and humor to sketch out a better understanding of how trauma affects our work in blended learning classrooms. Participants should read the bell hooks essay “Democratic Education,” in her book
Teaching Community
, before attending the workshop.
