Trauma Informed Practice for Teachers
Teachers work really hard to make sure their classrooms are safe, inclusive spaces for all their students. Every child comes to school with a unique set of lived experiences and for some, a safe, welcoming classroom can have a profound impact on learning and developmental outcomes.
Dr Karen Martin from UTAS and Dr Emily Berger from Monash answered questions from teachers and we heard about the very latest research and best practice in the field.
In one hour, this webinar covered:
💛 Experiences of trauma in childhood
💚 What does it mean to run a trauma-informed classroom?
💙 Impacts of natural disasters on children and school communities
💜 Children’s experiences of the pandemic
❤️ Practical takeaways for teachers

Very interesting webinar. I’m also listening to the bonus Q&A. Clearly these experts can’t be academics and also have significant or even any classroom teaching experience. Some of us learn best from augmenting literature and research with case studies and professional experiences. We can read literature and research conducted by clinicians on TIP but very much need the voices of people on the factory floor. So not generalised instructions on what we should be doing (which we may already know)but how this has played out in the classroom. This is also an essential part of creating policy which can’t just be the work of people outside the classroom. This sort of approach would be a great follow up webinar.
Thankyou Teacher Starter as a First Nation person with a key interest in education I really enjoyed this webinar and expertise. This work will definitely inform my practice !!!!
