- Our students lives have been disrupted by major events on a global and personal scale. Trauma-informed pedagogy asks us to keep in mind these experiences as we shape our teaching to create the conditions for success, both in person and in virtual classes. In this interactive workshop we will discuss the basic principles of trauma-informed classroom instruction and provide grounding and settling practices for instances when students may have a trauma response during class or office hours.
