Brief Program Description
Education is the bridge between a student and their hope for the future, but too often brokenness becomes a barrier to learning. Attitudes and behaviors become rooted in fear, anger, despair, and even perfectionism resulting from students' wounds. In this session, this practitioner will discuss how "at-risk" strategies are different than trauma-informed strategies and how we can create hope-centered classrooms to engage and empower students to see relevance in their education.
