This teacher professional development course was created to help you better understand your adolescent students who may have experienced some form of trauma in their life. You will explore examples of students in the 6th-12th grade classroom, analyze acute, chronic, and complex trauma, identify specific experiences of adolescents that can lead to trauma, and evaluate specific strategies for building a trauma-informed classroom. You will learn the fresh START formula for trauma-informed education so that you have specific strategies in mind to support your students throughout your classroom lessons. The course comes with a downloadable PDF of the content and a fresh START resource you can use as a reference guide later in your classroom.

Lesson 1
- Designing IEP Goals Course Content
- The video and article will provide you with an understanding of your adolescent students who may have experienced trauma and will provide you with tools and strategies to support them. The course also includes some "Reflect or Discuss" prompts to help you connect with the course content and ends with a "Try This Task" to guide you explicitly on how you might implement the ideas into the classroom.
- Quiz
- You will answer questions related to trauma in adolescents. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.
- Implementation Reflection
- The reflection prompt requires you to plan for use of the "try this task" by either reflecting on the content yourself or discussing them with the colleague. You will then discuss a new concept you can attempt to implement in the future based on something you learned in the course.
- Considerations for Implementation
- This short statement helps you reflect on your ideas and assess whether you might be successful in your implementation.
- Videos and Further Reading
- Additional content suggestions are provided to enhance and expand your understanding of trauma-informed education.
