SUMMARY:Trauma-Transforming Practices: Critical Literacies for Educators (Level 2)
DESCRIPTION:Date:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics: \n\n\nGeneral Education\n\n\n\n\nInstructor(s):  \n\n\n\nRuth Durkee\, J.D. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type:  \n\n\n\nHybrid \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraduate Credits:  \n\n\n\n3 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration closes September 21\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCouse start/end dates: September 29\, 2026 – January 17\, 2027 \n\n\n\nThis course\, which includes three workshop days\, will equip educators with three essential literacies needed to thrive in today’s schools: the literacy of prediction\, the literacy of pausing\, and the literacy of possibility. Together these literacies offer a practical framework for understanding human behavior and navigating the complex realities of schools\, while creating environments where both students and adults can flourish. The course will help educators develop the skills and mindsets to move beyond trauma-informed awareness toward trauma-transforming action.  \n\n\n\nCourse takers will participate in 3 synchronous days and engage in four additional facilitated implementation seminars designed to support the transfer of learning into practice. These sessions will provide opportunities to examine real-world challenges\, consult with peers and instructors\, analyze implementation barriers\, and reflect on successes and setbacks. Students will also complete independent learning activities and develop the capacity to adapt and implement these literacies within the unique contexts of their own schools and organizations.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will: \n\n\n\n\nDevelop fluency in the SOS.\n\n\n\nAnalyze predictable stress patterns to understand shifts in cognitive\, emotional\, and behavioral capacity.\n\n\n\nEstablish shared non-pathologizing language to shift school dialogue from blame to regulation.\n\n\n\nIntegrate the SOS as a daily reflective practice\, using body and environmental cues to interrupt reactivity and make regulated decisions.\n\n\n\n\nTo attend workshop series only\, not for graduate credit\, please register here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Your Instructor:\n\n\n\nDave Melnick
