On three consecutive Wednesdays participants will focus on best practices for supporting immigrant students in elementary classrooms. Learn to identify possible trauma, explore trauma-informed pedagogical practices, and come up with plans to support students and their families. All elementary educators welcome: social workers, paraprofessionals, teachers, school leaders, and others.
The module includes a 1-hour assignment prior to the start of the course (found at the end of this registration form), 7.5 mandatory hours of synchronous sessions, and an additional 6.5 hours of asynchronous small group and independent work. Free and open to educators throughout New York State. Registration closes May 1.
