Course Description

A foundational belief of this course is that student behavior is communication and school personnel must ensure they hear what is being shared.  To help in that regard, the content is structured to facilitate understanding the why behind student stress, how that stress shifts into trauma, and what school personnel can do to support students. 

Further, this course provides multiple opportunities for the learner to reflect on the information and begin to plan next steps for their students and classrooms.  

Trauma-Informed Classroom 2: FAQ's

How graphic is this content?

  • In the design, we chose to use real, school-related examples which can be difficult.  We have tried to be realistic without being graphic.  As such, we are adding a content warning because of the topic's sensitive nature.    

Is this course mobile-friendly?

  • Yes! The intentional design is for teachers to have choice in their learning, so you can learn with your phone, tablet, or computer.  Please note that some of the takeaway documents are detailed and would be better viewed on a computer screen.

What is the best way to take these courses?

  • Because this content deals with challenging experiences, we would encourage multiple sessions to complete the course.  That way, you can step away and process the information and return when ready.    

Are there any other courses on this topic?

  • Yes!  We have a foundational course called the Trauma-Informed Classroom.  That course is foundational to this one, so we encourage you to take that course first.  If you have other ideas for a course on this topic, then simply send us an email:  stridepdcenter@k12.com
