Workshop description
In this workshop, you will learn about trauma-informed pedagogy: teaching practices that are informed by an understanding of trauma, its prevalence, and its impact on learning. We will discuss some strategies you can take as a TA to support all students, especially those who have experienced trauma.
Participants with and without trauma experience are welcome to attend and connect. While discussions on the topic of trauma can be difficult, you won’t be asked to share your personal experiences and you are invited to take a break at any time throughout the workshop.
Workshop delivery
This session will take place on the Waterloo campus in Dana Porter Library, LIB 323 - Learning Lab.
