6. How to Create a Trauma Sensitive Classroom Environment
Teachers are indeed affected by the insanity of this year and last, but we’re wired at this stage of our lives to respond and recover from it.

In this episode, you will learn five ways to to create a trauma sensitive classroom environment starting today - even if the only contact you have with your class right now is thru a computer screen. Along with this I’m going to share some neuroscience to back up why these over arching practices will help with addressing trauma in the classroom.
