Uncertainty about school, economic wellbeing of families and communities, ongoing racial tension and unrest, and COVID-19 have increased all stakeholders’ concerns about the emotional and physical wellbeing of students and staff as they prepare for the 2020-2021 school year. In Part II of Trauma-Informed Practices Across all School Settings, the focus will shift from overall environmental practices to prevention and management of behavior arising from stress, distress, and trauma through positive and thoughtful interactions between staff and students. During this webinar participants will be introduced to a trauma-informed approach toward the escalation and de-escalation cycle including strategies for responding to behaviors at the various levels and ways to remain calm and be present with a student during an incident. Join us as we tackle difficult issues related to disruptive student behavior. This webinar is part two of a three-part series on fostering a holistic positive school climate for the 2020-2021 school year while addressing concerns related to COVID-19 and racial unrest.
