Inclusive Learning Environments for Young Children
How do you make YOUR classroom welcoming for students?
Creating a welcoming space for our classrooms. As a special education teacher who works with students with a variety of needs, a major consideration in my room is space. Setting up my classroom before the students arrive takes both imagination and careful calculated considerations.
Inclusive Trauma-Sensitive Learning Environments
Classrooms are important communities for our students and trauma sensitive classroom practices address student needs around safety, relationships, social skills and academic success.
A Whole Child Approach
Addressing the needs of the whole child (competency, relationships, self regulation and health/well being) in a trauma sensitive manner requires a three pronged approach, trauma sensitive whole school and classroom practices as well as trauma sensitive individual student supports.
Intersection of Race, Trauma and Equity
The LIfTS team and research lab seek to better understand the essential components of a trauma sensitive school, the interception of trauma and racism, the trauma to prison pipeline, and developing healing and resilient learning environments.
