Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: FALCoN with Melissa Haswell. Creating an Equitable Classroom Using Trauma-Informed Pedagogy.. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

For students that have experienced a personal life event or a collective trauma, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional academic policies may become a barrier that hinders learning due to the way stress affects the brain. Trauma-informed pedagogy uses a set of teaching approaches to create a compassionate, flexible, and consistent space that considers the broader impacts of stress on the human brain, as well as paths to resiliency for both student and teacher. In this presentation, several trauma-informed strategies will be discussed and debriefed via small discussion group activities.
