Trauma, Distress, and Chaos… Oh, My!
Trauma has an overarching effect on both teachers and students, effecting student behavior, ability to focus and concentrate, and the overall well-being of the classroom environment. We’ll change the dialogue from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” in this practical session, and learn the symptoms of trauma and suggestions for lessening its impact.

“Dear Stress, Let’s break up. – Me”
Stress is a result of, and a manifestation of trauma. Trauma can be as simple as working in a fast-paced, under-resourced environment (like a classroom!) caught between what’s good for students and what will make the higher-ups happy. We’ll talk about kinds of stress, where it comes from, symptoms of stress, and create an individual stress reduction plan (mailed to you after the Institute)!
