Course Description

• For Elem only. Classroom180 is a ground-breaking framework that answers the essential question, what is a trauma-informed classroom? What does it look like and most importantly, what does it feel like to be a student in a responsive classroom? Through extensive research, field study and personal experiences, Heather Forbes has created a comprehensive set of components and criteria to help schools create, sustain and assess trauma-informed classrooms. The class Jon and I give on the 1st will be just "dipping your toes" into the work and resources available. You and your staff will have access to a virtual library of resources for 1 year. Here is how you will access the materials, please pass this on to your staff: 1. Step 1 - go to traumainformedonlineacademy.com 2. Step 2 - login. Username- the email you provided on the spreadsheet Password - Eldorado 3. Step 3 - In the drop down menu at the top of the page there will be two options to select. a. The first option is for some pre work. The pre work is a video series Heather Forbes (author) gave as a keynote address. The keynote is broken up so computers can download it easier. It total it is about 75 minutes long. Try to complete this before our November 1st PD. Not mandatory, it will just get everyone's wheels turning. b. The 2nd option will be all the resources the staff can access to deepen their understanding. This is good for until November 1, 2022.
