When Schools Reopen in Fall 2021…..

I am worried about schools/organizations reopening successfully in Fall 2021, even if they opened in some fashion this Spring/Summer. Trauma among students and educators/social workers will abound and we need trauma responsive institutions, trauma responsive pedagogy and trauma responsive strategies. The time to do that thinking is now.

I have two essays forthcoming on this topic, including the questions we need to be asking NOW. One is being published by The Proctor Institute at Rutgers Graduate School of Education and the other in Evolllution.

That is why this Rutgers course (3 hours; May 12th; 9 — noon est) is so important. Please consider signing up. Whether you are a social worker or an educator or an employer, there is much to learn to insure that student/client/employee trauma is handled optimally.

Course is online and well priced ($60). See you there I hope.
