Trauma-Invested Teaching Certificate Testimonial

The Trauma-Invested Teaching Practices and Policies course helps educators understand the effect of trauma on student behaviors and learning through engaging activities and readings. Dr. Opiola has selected articles and research on the topic of trauma and education that help the educator think deeply about their own practices and the policies in their schools to go beyond "trauma-informed" to becoming "trauma-invested". This course is essential learning for anyone who wants to create a safe learning environment where students have the best chance at success. - Erin Messmer, M.Ed., LCMHC, NCC; School Counselor; A.L.
