Add to that the aftermath of a lingering pandemic, political turmoil, strained race relations, and a host of other factors, and education is an extremely challenging field right now! In this engaging, relevant keynote, learn from childhood trauma expert Kristin Souers (lead author of the best-selling and award-winning Fostering Resilient Learners: Strategies for creating a trauma-sensitive classroom – ASCD, 2016 and Relationship, Responsibility and Regulation: Trauma-invested practices for fostering resilient learners – ASCD, 2019) about the importance of acknowledging our reality, building empathy for ourselves and others, understanding our mindsets, and fostering resilience as we face extraordinary challenges. Because we’re in a service-oriented profession and continuously look outward to help others, we’ll turn our lenses around to build self-awareness, curate some self-regulation strategies, and embrace the concept of grace as we collaboratively build a Culture of Safety for our youth, families, staffs, and communities.
