 While observing our students, I was reminded of this poem entitled Kids Who Are Different. It is the differences that make OUR COMMUNITY!!!  We do our very best to meet them where they are every single day!  The next time you look at your students see where they have grown, understand their needs, see their possibilities and most of all appreciate & celebrate who they are.

Based on information compiled by the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments, this training emphasizes how educators can implement specific trauma-informed practices, with a brief review of the prevalence and impacts of trauma on students and adults. Participants will learn classroom-based modifications and accommodations that prevent re-traumatization of students and instead build student resilience.
