SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Teaching Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Dr. Alana Abramson\, Department of Criminology\, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU)\n \nTrauma-informed teaching focuses on integrating knowledge about how people are affected by trauma into your teaching and facilitation practices. It does not require you to be an expert in trauma or trauma treatment\, but rather\, it is a way of working that emphasizes safety\, trustworthiness\, choice\, connection\, collaboration\, strengths\, skill building\, and self-care. It involves understanding how trauma can affect students’ behaviour\, learning\, and overall well-being\, and adjusting teaching practices accordingly. This approach emphasizes creating a safe and inclusive space\, being sensitive to students’ experiences\, and providing appropriate support to help them succeed academically and emotionally. \n  \nThis workshop will be held in a virtual space. Expect to be fully engaged with plenty of opportunity to discuss and share ideas and experiences. The focus will be on practical ideas that you can take into your classes and use in your teaching. \n  \nRegistration is limited to 20 participants. Please let your instructors know and invite them to register. There is no cost for JIBC staff/faculty.\n \n \nClick here to complete your registration.\n  \nPriority for registration is for practising JIBC instructors. If you are not currently in a teaching role\, but you are interested in the workshop\, you may still be able to join if there are enough spaces. If demand exceeds our capacity to deliver\, we may also consider offering a second delivery at a later date. \n  \n\nDr. Alana Abramson is a passionate educator\, dedicated to enhancing student experiences in the classroom.
