Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education

Adopting trauma-informed pedagogy requires intentional efforts, planning, dialogues and constant self-reflection to foster equitable environments where students feel seen, valued and appreciated. In this session we will discuss six equity-centered trauma-informed principles from Alex Shevrin’s book “Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education,” including helpful tips and activities that can be adapted for any teaching context. Participants in this session will develop ideas to incorporate these principles in their own instructional and work setting. We welcome everyone with an open heart and mind to engage in cultivating tools to add to their equity-centered teaching toolbox. Attendees do not need to have read the book to join the session.
