New Toolkit: Trauma-Informed SEL in the Classroom
Transforming Education recently released its newest toolkit focused on Trauma-Informed Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in the Classroom.
Trauma-informed SEL is an approach to fostering youths’ social-emotional development with practices that support all students, but is particularly inclusive and responsive to the needs of children and youth who have experienced trauma. Recognizing the importance of educator well-being the toolkit also discusses symptoms of secondary traumatic stress and provides tools for self-care.
The toolkit was developed with a strengths-based approach and is rich with resources to explore, strategies to implement, and prompts for reflection aimed at facilitating educator learning and engagement with the material.
