The OSUN Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives are pleased to invite OSUN members to the "Trauma Informed Educators Workshop and Lecture Series," developed by Ariane Simard from Bard College Berlin.
Trauma Informed Education is an approach that recognizes the influence and impact of trauma on students and educators in the classroom and takes into account how factors including racism, sexism, poverty, community violence, migrant and refugee status, mental health issues, addiction, abuse and neglect can hinder academic achievement as well as personal growth and functioning.
Drawing on studies on education, brain development and the lasting effects of trauma, as well as some nonviolent communication techniques, this workshop series aims to provide educators with a new understanding on how trauma can affect a student’s ability to function as well as offer up some tools for creating a more trauma informed classroom where educators can begin to model the kind of techniques that will help create new pathways of learning.
In the second session with Kristin Masters of Nonviolent Communication Santa Cruz, the group discussed how listening to students and to ourselves is a key component of nonviolent communication, what some would call the first step in becoming trauma informed.
Using the key components and tools of nonviolent communication, we will workshop ways to turn these tools into lesson plans and learning objectives. Instructors should be prepared to discuss an assignment they regularly teach and should have either attended or viewed the recording of Kristin Masters’ April 20th workshop on Nonviolent Communication.
Please register to receive the Zoom link to attend.
