    Dates: 11/18/2025

    * Information on the legal and regulatory requirements
    * Understanding the characteristics of second language acquisition
    * Identifying the clinical markers of disabilities
    * Explore the cultural dynamics, crosslinguistic features of bilingualism, optimal learning environments, effective interventions, and comprehensive assessment practices.

    This workshop is designed to provide health educators and administrators with an understanding of childhood trauma and the ways in which it impacts student growth, development, learning, memory, behavior, impulse control, interpersonal relationships, and school attendance. Through a "universal precautions" mindset, participants learn that they don't have to know all of the details of their students' trauma/challenges/obstacles, but they can develop and utilize a "trauma-informed" lens to guide their teaching practices that create safe, connected classrooms that benefit all students (whether they have been impacted by trauma or not). Trauma-Informed Teaching is grounded in decades of research, data-driven, and it is not about lowering the bar or making excuses for kids. It is about finding ways to hold students accountable while providing flexibility and respect through our interactions, policies, procedures, and daily practices. This workshop is designed to be interactive, reflective, and applicable across all grade levels.
