As the COVID-19 pandemic marches into its third year we are all—whether we recognize it or not—operating in a stress state under a burden of collective trauma. Educators have shouldered an incredible burden and continued to serve students in the face of adversity.
It's our aim on this page to provide you with helpful resources to incorporate trauma-informed practices and social-emotional learning (SEL) into your schools, buses, classrooms, cafeterias, and libraries. Trauma-informed education helps students and educators regulate emotional responses and deal with everyday life stressors so that they, and you, are in the best headspace to learn, teach, and grow.
