Changing the Paradigm of Trauma in the Classroom
Mindful Schools ONLINE Workshop:
Thursday, March 26, 2020, 5:00pm – 6:30pm PDT
Our 90-minute workshop format is designed to give educators access to experts, take a deeper dive into leading-edge topics in Mindfulness in Education, and provide high-impact learning and practice experiences. Join us!
About This Workshop
Gain a deeper understanding of the body’s natural defense mechanisms and how the physiological effects of trauma can show up in the classroom. As humans, we can unintentionally develop a physiological addiction to what we call the “what’s wrong” attention – and we will discuss how to work with this natural tendency.
We’ll discuss trauma-informed practices to support students to break free from natural defensive states and into healthy play and social engagement. You’ll learn the physiological basis for certain classroom behaviors, learn how to recognize the indicators, and understand the role that the “what’s wrong” plays into how we perceive these behaviors.
This workshop offers educators an opportunity to increase compassion for students and gain skills to navigate challenging interactions in the classroom.
In this workshop, you will gain a deeper understanding of:
- Physiological indicators of fight, flight, freeze, play, and social engagement
- “What’s wrong” attention and how it impacts students and educators
- Trauma-informed strategies to shift the paradigm of “trauma” in the classroom
