Five key points will be highlighted for discussion and exploration:

Creating predictable routines

Building strong and supportive relationships

Empowering student agency

Supporting the development of self-regulation skills

Providing the opportunity to explore individual student identities.

Using informational stats, videos, engagement strategies, and dialogue, we will explore key trauma-informed SEL practices that help create the safest and most productive environment to help students feel supported and empowered. We will also discuss supporting self-regulation with predictable routines and opportunities to explore individual identity while also increasing community. Finally, we will explore various strategies to empower student agency by being responsive to student needs and supportive of their goals and aspirations.
