EEDUC 5257 The Impact of Trauma on Learning: Classroom and Student Supports
Trauma affects self-regulation, social skills and a child’s sense of health and well being, along with interfering with more traditional academic skills that require language, memory, and executive function. This course will address ways to promote these non-academic and academic competencies for students impacted by trauma, including which competencies can be incorporated into the learning flow of the classroom (as they benefit all children) and which are best taught with an individual support plan.
