"The Trauma-Responsive Para" will be presented by Matthew Bowerman.
Description:
The Trauma-Responsive (Para) Paraeducator course is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively support students impacted by trauma. Through this training, participants will develop a foundational understanding of trauma and its effects on student behavior, learning, and emotional regulation. Paraeducators will explore practical, trauma-informed strategies to use to build trust, maintain consistent routines, promote emotional safety, and respond to challenging behaviors with empathy and de-escalation techniques. By the end of the course, participants will be able to recognize signs of trauma, apply supportive strategies in real-time classroom situations, and collaborate with teachers and school staff to create a safe, inclusive, and healing-centered environment for all students.
