This training explores how a child’s early experiences, positive and negative, impact early brain development. These impacts include one's capacity to learn and navigate the school environment. Only by understanding the interaction between brain architecture and trauma can we comprehend how it affects a child’s life as well as those that interact with the child. This training provides evidence-based research and strategies to assist educators in their journey towards becoming trauma responsive and safe adults for all students. The curriculum incorporates research and information from trauma experts Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Robert Anda, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. E. Tronick, Dr. Daniel Siegel as well as education experts Heather Forbes, LCSW, and Jim Sporleder. All of which is presented in an easy to understand, interactive and user-friendly format.
