This early childhood series will consist of 40 15-minute micro learning sessions. Each learning sessions build upon the next and it is important to take them in order starting with #1 and ending with #40.

It is required you watch at least 90% of each video in order to progress forward. Skipping, forwarding, watching out of order will prevent you from successfully continuing or getting a final certificate of completion.

You can watch individually, in teams or larger groups. If you watch in teams, it will not track you individually, only the person using the login. There are prompts to pause or conduct an activity which allows for reflection and deeper conversation.

Trauma-Responsive and Resilience-Building Practices for Educators provides an overview on the neurobiology of trauma, the impact of toxic stress on a child and adult and introduces the science of resilience and neuroplasticity. Participants will walk away understanding the difference between a challenging behavior and trauma trigger. The training will guide educators working with children to understand trauma as well as its impact on young children’s brains, behavior, learning, and development.

The training introduces a range of trauma-responsive and resilience building practices they can use in their education programs to create strength-based environments that support children and adult’s health, healing, and resiliency. Participants will dive deeper in exploring how to observe children using the trauma-responsive observation checklist. They learn to observe themselves and their unconscious reactions using the adult trigger checklist.

Finally, you will gain the practical experience of writing individualized trauma-responsive support plans that will help young children with histories of trauma build resilience and rewire their bodies to feel safe and secure in the classroom environment.

Several strategies will be explored for strengthening or building self-regulation and grounding in times of stress.  This training takes participants on a journey to the center of themselves (sometimes we call it getting a PhD in you!). Several self-care strategies and tools will be introduced for adults.
