Description

Prerequisite: Admission to Teacher Education program and Senior status. This course will introduce education majors to a variety of classroom behaviors that may be an indicator of personal trauma. The design of this course is to help education majors identify and effectively assess students affected by chronic stress, trauma and/or violence. A significant emphasis will be the systematic framework in which the traumatized student lives and how the classroom environment is affected. Education majors will obtain an understanding of how trauma affects the students' mental and social development. This course will also support the development of appropriate educational interventions to help the student succeed academically. Fall/Spring
