Course Topics:
The impact of trauma on children’s physical, cognitive, and emotional development
Holistic child development as it relates to well-being
Changes in child brain development
The importance of safe and secure learning environments
Teaching strategies that address a child’s holistic well-being.
Early childhood is a critical stage of development and lays the foundation for life. Children experience tremendous brain development between birth and 8 years old. At this age they take in new information that is critical to the formation of active neural pathways. The people and environments that surround children are highly influential at this point in their development. As a result, it is critical that they feel safe and supported in order to grow and thrive. Children of all abilities can only develop optimally if their social, emotional, and educational needs are met. Commitment to such healthy development is the focus of our Health and Well-Being Practice Area.
Over the course of 4-5 hours, course participants will gain a critically valuable understanding of the impact trauma has on a young child’s development. Participants will also learn teaching strategies that address a child’s complete physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.
These courses – designed by educators for educators – provide educators and other education leaders with the resources, knowledge, mindsets, and skills necessary to cultivate academic achievement and ensure well-being for refugee, immigrant, multilingual learner/emergent bilingual, and newcomer students.
Course participants will move through the online course at their own pace and engage in online discussions with colleagues. Course modules focus on concrete, culturally responsive, and assets-driven strategies to support multicultural, multilingual learners, especially newcomers. Courses provide 30 clock hours/CEUs upon successful completion.
The format will be online, asynchronous courses in 7 modules, plus 4 online Saturday workshops. 5 extra CEUs will be offered for each Saturday workshop attended.

Have a working understanding of what trauma is and why it is important to learn about
Be able to identify different types of trauma
Understand how self-care is a critical component to trauma-informed work.

Trauma-informed practice is a complex topic, and caregivers should consider training beyond the micro-course. Future in-depth trainings will allow participants to learn more about trauma, the impact trauma has on development, and specific strategies to use in formal and informal learning environments to support children as they deal with traumatic experiences.
