Education Now | Navigating Trauma — for Teachers and Learners

Join us as we look at how teachers and learners are navigating trauma today — the trauma left in the wake of a lingering pandemic, racist violence, economic hardship, and pervasive inequality. What are the trauma-responsive strategies that can help both students and adults — and can an effective trauma response lead to better, more just schools? And finally, what does a holistically healthy school community — where everyone’s wellbeing is prioritized — even look like? We’ll offer some answers as we zero in on feasible strategies for schoolwide wellbeing.

Speakers:

• Mark Tappan, Professor of Education, Colby College
• Aysha Upchurch, Lecturer on Education and Artist in Residence, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Host: Uche Amaechi, Lecturer on Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
