Educator Series: Trauma and Young Children
Description
Do you enjoy reading and engaging in discussions? Join this educator series book study and engage with other early care and education professionals. This book study examines the impact of trauma on children. It explores the guiding principles for teaching and the power of relationships and play when caring for these young children. Begin implementing strategies from the book that support children who have experienced trauma and benefit all children. This book study uses the book Trauma and Young Children: Teaching Strategies to Support and Empower by Sarah Erdman, Laura J. Colker, and Elizabeth C. Winter. During this blended five-week book study, complete weekly offline reading and engage in online peer learning discussions and personal reflection journals. Participate in live group Zoom conversations on Thursday at 6:30 pm (CST) at the end of weeks 2 and 4. Complete two offline activities where you will implement strategies identified in the book. Zoom conversations require you to use a webcam or front-facing camera to create a more interactive and engaging learning experience.
