Educators’ Learning Project

The Educator’s Learning Project is a year-long project focused on application and practice.  We begin with an introduction to trauma-responsivity and emergent strategy, and continue across an academic year with two to three working labs. These labs are places for educators to bring lesson plans, assignments, and curricula to get feedback from peers through emergent strategy and trauma responsive framing. The Educator’s Learning Project is available for both prison and community based campuses, and can be fully virtual.

Trauma Responsive Practice Cohorts

Practice cohorts are a space for participants to learn about and integrate trauma-responsive concepts into their educational practice.  Whether you are a teacher, administrator, or student services professional, trauma-responsive concepts will strengthen your relationships with colleagues and students, and build your confidence in supporting learners.

Cohorts begin with a day or half day workshop, followed by monthly meetings across the academic year. These meetings are intended as spaces to discuss how participants are integrating the concepts from the book into their teaching practice, the changes they observe in themselves, and how their work is impacting student success.

Facilitation

Trauma responsive facilitation, like all trauma-responsive practice, begins with noticing our own unsettled minds and bodies and making decisions about self-intervention.  As we tend ourselves and find alternatives to replicating cycles of harm, our confidence in creating strong, flexible, and responsive containers grows.

Coaching for educators

Are you interested in building your practice but learn better one on one?  Have you been working on integrating trauma-responsive concepts and would like to throw ideas around, or get feedback?  I’d love to work with you, so please reach out!

Speaking

I am available for speaking engagements, panel discussions and moderation, author talks, and interviews.
