PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than 25 percent of American youth experience a serious traumatic event by their sixteenth birthday, and many children suffer multiple and repeated traumas, according to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. This trauma affects children learning in the classroom.
Beginning January 2018, students in Concordia University-Portland’s College of Education can complete an MEd in Curriculum & Instruction with a concentration in Trauma and Resilience in Educational Settings, in just one year fully online. Trauma and Resilience is the newest concentration among 19 focus areas available to current and future teachers.
A trauma-informed care approach in schools is gaining traction nationwide, as student needs change and schools seek to address – and overcome – barriers to learning. When teachers learn effective responses to student trauma, and how to help instill resiliency skills necessary to thrive in the classroom, children have better learning outcomes – in school and in life.
