Trauma-Informed Care for Literacy Practitioners

Participants will become familiar with the 5 core principles of trauma-informed practice for literacy practitioners. Developing supportive practices to implement with learners which will promote responsive learning and prevent further assumptions as tutors and instructors.

Trauma-informed education assists us in not passing judgment on learners who miss appointments, who call in “sick” before a first meeting and who often miss several sessions throughout their learning journey. Join Rochelle Galeski in Trauma-Informed Care for Literacy Practitioners for an introduction on how to better support learner intake and retention through creating safe and welcoming spaces by being trauma-informed.
