Students engage eagerly in a classroom, raising hands and participating in a lesson with their teacher.

This course examines how curiosity, compassion, and connection transform teaching and learning. Drawing on topics and strategies covered in A Stance of Curiosity podcast and companion webinar series—participants will explore the effects of trauma, stress, and adversity on students and educators, and develop strategies that foster resilience, belonging, and authentic learning. The course emphasizes neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed approaches, highlighting the power of co-regulation, play, communication, and professional wellness to create inclusive classrooms and thriving school communities. Through applied practice and reflection, participants will critically evaluate systemic barriers in education and design curiosity-driven solutions that honor both student and educator well-being.

Start/End Dates: March 4,2026 – June 3,2026
