Course Overview & MSEA Mission

2. MSEA Vision

Welcome to MSEA’s Becoming a Trauma-Informed Educator series, a hybrid-based instruction course.

Module one of this 4-part series will focus on:

(1) how trauma impacts brain development,

(2) how trauma manifests in school functioning; and,

(3) what strategies educators can use in their work setting to buffer childhood trauma.

The hybrid course model will function as follows:

Participants will complete reflective self-assessments regarding the extent to which they recognize, consider, and implement trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive practices. Responses made in this online portion of the course will be reviewed by the facilitators before the synchronous sessions to inform the live training. The Hybrid model will allow time to discuss challenges and opportunities to impact a diverse population of students and communities through virtual boards.

Attendance in synchronous sessions and completion of all assignments within the module are expected to receive a certificate of completion.
