Trauma Informed Practices for Educators

The Trauma Informed Practices for Educators series consists of four workshops. 

The program is available as tailored trainings for school districts and youth-serving organizations. Workshops can be provided individually or as a series. Workshop descriptions are below. 

Trauma Informed Practices for Educators 


This introductory course provides an understanding of how educators can create a more trauma sensitive school environment that ultimately leads to student’s academic and social success! The course will cover Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), other types of trauma and toxic stress and the impact they have on the brain, body and child development. Participants will also discuss how trauma shows up in children’s behavior in the classroom.  The course will provide strategies to better recognize and respond to children who may have experienced trauma as well as help educators create a healing classroom/school environment. 

The course is available in a two- or seven-hour format.  Participants who are Pennsylvania Certified teachers are eligible to earn (2) or (7) Act 48 (PDE) hours. 

Trauma and Self-Care for Educators

Each of the following major content areas will be reviewed in this workshop – Trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), Positive Childhood Experiences, Vicarious and Secondary Trauma, and strategies for Self-Care. Participants will have ample opportunity to collaborate, ask questions and develop a plan to cultivate self-care and wellness in themselves.

The course is available in a two-hour format.  Participants who are Pennsylvania Certified teachers are eligible to earn (2) Act 48 (PDE) hours. 

Trauma and Resilience for Educators

Each of the following major content areas will be reviewed in this workshop – Trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), Positive Childhood Experiences and strategies to build Resiliency Skills. Participants will have ample opportunity to collaborate, ask questions and develop a plan to cultivate resiliency in themselves and students.

The course is available in a two-hour format.  Participants who are Pennsylvania Certified teachers are eligible to earn (2) Act 48 (PDE) hours. 

Trauma and Advanced Strategies for Educators

Children and families throughout the country have experienced trauma which impacts the brain, bodies, behaviors and academic achievement of students. Participants will define trauma and understand the societal impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). They will identify brain triggers that may be seen in themselves and school environment for themselves as the adult. Then, participants will closely and actively examine the concepts of triggers that can occur throughout the day for students. They will then learn the about the importance of self-regulation to be able to practice co-regulation with students. Once the skills are identified, the focus of this hands-on workshop will be to develop a plan to bring back into their lives so they can remain regulated and understand how to promote these concepts with children.

The course is available in a two-hour format.  Participants who are Pennsylvania Certified teachers are eligible to earn (2) Act 48 (PDE) hours. 

It is recommended that participants take Trauma Informed Practices for Educators prior to Advanced Strategies.
