Building a Trauma Sensitive School
 
Studies now show that nearly every school has children who have been exposed to overwhelming experiences, such as witnessing violence between their caretakers, being the direct targets of abuse, community violence and other kinds of adversity. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study found higher levels of traumatic experiences in the general population than previously imagined. Among the approximately 17,000 adults surveyed, just over 50% reported having experienced at least one form of childhood adversity. A trauma-sensitive school is one where all students feel safe, welcomed, and supported.  This school will constantly be addressing trauma’s impact on learning on a school-wide basis.  This is at the center of its educational mission. This course is designed to delve into the elements of what is necessary to develop or even enhance a Trauma Sensitive School.  Topics include Core Principles, Secondary Traumatic Stress, Secondary Traumatic Stress, Mapping Triggers, Trauma Sensitive Assessment, Multitiered Approach, Collaboration, SEL, and Guiding Questions.

Ditch the Worksheet- Assessment and Management
 
Hello and welcome to part one of a four part series of "Ditch the Worksheet." This class on "assessment" will provide you with ways to throw out the worksheets you use for reviews, assessments, and daily activities to provide new ways to encourage students to learn with technology.

In 2018, we presented for the first time together “Ditch the Worksheet” at the Raising Student Achievement Conference. Since then, we have encouraged teachers and administrators to get rid of the traditional teaching style of handing out worksheets to check for understanding and completion and switch to a more digital approach with the use of technology tools!

We hope you find many new ideas to be able to immediately incorporate into your classroom.

SEL Integrated in Successful Classroom Management
 
This course is designed to demonstrate how the two topics (Social and Emotional Learning & Classroom Management) can meld into one. If you succeed in understanding and implementing SEL, many classroom management problems can take care of themselves. This growth will allow you to focus on the even more challenging task of developing social and emotional maturity in each student. The classroom atmosphere techniques included in this course are formulated to provide a community in your classroom. Although it may take a change in some of your teaching, it is well worth the effort to create an atmosphere of community in your classroom. I hope you enjoys the journey!
