Educator Trauma: Dangers Plaguing Educators In and Out of the Classroom

The return to the classroom by teachers and students, post pandemic, has brought a rise of challenges and dangers to educators that compound an already stressful career. Educators at every level have seen and reported an increase of physical and mental abuse at their campuses at the hands of students, parents, and even other staff members. Join in a candid conversation on the research surrounding this matter and what can be done to ensure the safety of everyone on our campuses.

By the end of this workshop, participants:

• Understand statistics about educator perceptions surrounding safety in the classroom. 
• Understand about trauma, trauma triggers, burnout, and self-care.
• Understand ways in which they can help promote a safe campus for everyone.

Monday, February 5, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Central
