Participants of this webinar will: Learn about how trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences affect learning and behavior; Understand what trauma-informed practice is and why it benefits all students; Learn how districts are helping teachers and staff learn about and implement trauma-informed practices; Explore a systemic framework for implementing universal trauma-informed practice; and Discover steps to make schools more trauma-sensitive and restorative.
