Trauma-Informed Practices for Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Trauma-informed pedagogy is a strategic pedagogical approach that prioritizes emotional resilience and inclusivity across academic environments. While it is a well-established paradigm in K-12 education, these pedagogical practices are not as well described in higher education. In this session, workshop participants will reflect on well-established trauma-informed principles, and through vignette based discussions, participants will collaboratively develop strategies to apply in their own educational contexts
