Basic Computer Proficiency required. Read more »
Basic computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have limited experience with technology. Participants will learn fundamental skills such as navigating the web, and using basic programs.
Imagine a classroom where every student feels safe, understood, and supported. Where teachers have the tools to recognize trauma responses and the knowledge to transform challenging moments into opportunities for growth.
Where AI assistance helps educators provide personalized support while maintaining the human connection that’s vital for healing and learning.
This isn’t just an idealistic vision – it’s the future of trauma-informed education.
As mental health awareness grows and technology evolves, it’s crucial for educators to develop skills that blend emotional intelligence with innovative support tools.
This course is designed for compassionate educators, and teacher assistants, who understand that behind every challenging behavior lies a story waiting to be heard and acknowledged.
Teachers might be asking:
- How can I create a truly safe space for all my students?
- What role can AI play in supporting trauma-informed practices?
- How do I balance technology with human connection?
- How can I better understand and respond to students affected by trauma?
Trauma-informed care touches every aspect of education, and this course will show participants how to implement it effectively. Through hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, they’ll explore the intersection of compassionate teaching and technological support.
During the course, participants will experience practical applications of the calm, attuned, present, predictable, and don’t. Let the child’s emotions escalate your own/CAPPD framework, engage with AI tools that assist in communication and support planning, and develop strategies for building resilient classroom communities.
They’ll learn to craft positive reinforcement plans and practice trauma-sensitive approaches through role-playing exercises.
By the end of this course, participants will have a comprehensive toolkit for implementing trauma-informed practices in their classrooms. They’ll understand how to use AI as a supportive tool while maintaining the essential human connection that helps students heal and grow.
Teachers will leave with practical strategies that blend emotional awareness with technological support, preparing them to create classrooms where every student can feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.
The course emphasizes that while AI can enhance our capabilities, the heart of trauma-informed care remains in human connection and understanding.
