Tier 1 Forum - Trauma Enhancements

This three-day event is designed for those school teams and division support personnel who have already attended the Tier 1 professional learning for new teams, have had experience implementing Tier 1 behavior practices, and believe that trauma-sensitive schools are a priority. This trauma-sensitive enhancement will integrate the practices of social-emotional learning throughout all the modules.

Participants of this workshop will gain an understanding of the effects of trauma, learn how trauma impacts learning and behavior, recognize how a school may incorporate trauma-sensitive practices at the Tier 1 level through data, professional learning, family and community engagement, routines, and procedures as well as feedback and acknowledgment.
