This was a class that I took in the summer, which was one of my favorite ways to take a class. I loved that I could focus all of my attention on it without having to worry about work, and it also gave me structure to my days which helped me stay in good routines. I was very excited to see that one of our main assignments in our course outline was a Learning Showcase, which could be presented in the form of a website. You can find my showcase on this website under Trauma-Informed Classrooms, which features three different blog posts on the topic.
I felt as though all three were important and are still relevant to the work I do today. Helping teachers understand how to create trauma-informed classrooms is an important part of my job as a counsellor, so it is helpful for me to look back on the articles and summary that I gave in this blog post. At the time of writing these, I can remember thinking that the majority of students effected by trauma would be from war-torn countries. It didn’t take me working as a school counsellor for very long to realize that many our students in the foster care system were the ones who would need us all to understand trauma and the effects it has on our students.
