Trauma Informed Schools

Trauma Informed Schools Online Course

Instructor: Barbara Oehlberg, MA

For those who are employed by or assigned to schools, the goal of integrating trauma-sensitive practices can be challenging. Some standard school policies tend to aggravate the distress of students who have traumatic memories, compounding behavioral and learning issues. School counselors, social workers, and mental health personnel assigned to schools are expected to “fix” student behavioral problems but have little or no influence on school policies. By integrating trauma sensitivity into school policies and teaching strategies, school climates and academic achievement can greatly improve, especially in districts serving fiscally depressed communities. This course will give you information to provide to school administrators and staff which illustrates the correlations between trauma, brain development, behavioral, and learning issues. By sharing information that permits schools to address the root causes of behavioral and learning dilemmas, educators will be empowered to reach the improved achievement expectations required by state and federal departments of education.

Cost of taking this course online is $100. Upon successful completion of assignments tests and evaluation, a certificate of completion can be downloaded. CEs are not included in the price of this course but can be purchased in the TLC Online Bookstore. If you have questions about CEUs email [email protected].

Comments from Students

This has been a rewarding and fulfilling course as I continue on my quest to support children in school settings. I will use this information in my daily practices and feel motivated to spread my wings at both the building and district levels in gaining support for becoming trauma informed. Barbara, thank you for all your wonderful feedback and encouragement to keep going. I have bought all the books you recommended and am enjoying them immensely. You definitely inspired me during this course!

I appreciated the feedback I received from the teacher. It helped me to process what I was learning better. I can not believe how much I learned through this class. Amazing!

This was an awesome class in design and learning for the student. Because of the assignment requests, I was challenged to a new level of learning and I hope, outreach opportunity.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn ALOT and I hope, contribute to a reality of Trauma-Informed Schools!
