  • ED 5230: Trauma Informed Teaching

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    This course will explore trauma within the classroom and provide a detailed description of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions compromising trauma-informed educator competencies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students will develop a skill set to support the education and development of the whole-child, while preparing teachers and school leaders to recognize the signs of adolescent trauma in the classroom. Trauma-Informed knowledge invites changes to traditional and postmodern pedagogical practices, placing attunement (connecting) and mentoring (coaching) at the core of learning. Educators currently receive little professional development on how trauma impacts students and how to support the education of these students. To compound this, unaddressed student trauma is a major factor in teacher frustration, low job satisfaction, and burnout. The educational needs of these youth are complex, and this course will provide best-practices in trauma-informed care that assures educators that TIPS is based on sound research and is a universal design appropriate for all students.
