Navigating Classroom Dynamics: Mindful Teaching Amid Conflict (Session One)

Navigating Classroom Dynamics: An Anti-Racist and Trauma-Informed Approach
Join the three-part webinar series designed to revolutionize classroom discussions by introducing an anti-racist and trauma-informed approach to conflicts. We recognize that students bring their entire selves to class, encompassing bodies, emotions, and neuro-systems, often carrying traumas resulting from microaggressions, racism, religious differences, and various conflicts. Instructors play a pivotal role in addressing these behind-the-scenes issues to foster an inclusive learning space that supports all students, including those who may be traumatized.
Session One
Explore the nuanced dynamics of the classroom space in this webinar, where conventional assumptions about neutral learning environments are challenged. Delve into Neuroscience and trauma-informed pedagogy, unveiling how traumatized brains introduce unique considerations.
This session invites participants to uncover the social and cultural construction of emotions and traumas, fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences students bring to the learning environment.
Engage in meaningful conversations about inclusive practices designed to welcome all brains, and brains in various stages into the classroom. Join us for a transformative exploration of educational spaces that acknowledges and embraces the individuality of each learner.
