This two-hour professional learning course equips educators with the knowledge and tools to recognize, understand, and respond to child traumatic stress in school settings. Aligned with HB20-1128 and HB20-1312 as required by the Colorado Department of Education, this training emphasizes the impact of trauma on brain development, behavior, and learning, and provides practical strategies educators can use to create safe, supportive, and responsive classroom environments.
Participants will explore the types and sources of trauma, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), chronic stress, and acute traumatic events. The course highlights how trauma may present in the classroom—often through behavior, disengagement, or academic challenges—and reframes these responses through a trauma-informed lens.
Educators will learn how to respond to students in ways that promote regulation, safety, and trust, while maintaining appropriate boundaries and aligning with school protocols. The course also emphasizes culturally responsive practices and the importance of recognizing how trauma disproportionately impacts historically marginalized communities.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with actionable strategies to support students affected by trauma, reduce re-traumatization, and foster resilience and connection in their classrooms.
