Trauma-Informed Teaching and Learning: How Do We Help Our Students Recognize and Mitigate the Impact of Stress and Traumatic Experiences
May 28, 2020

In times of uncertainty, we look to our leaders–at home, at school, and at work–for guidance and reassurance. Students, particularly underprivileged students, look to their instructors for this kind of reassurance and comfort. How can we ease student anxiety while we ourselves feel anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure about the future? How do we provide a sanctuary that allows students to continue learning and growing?

This webinar is designed for educators interested in the principles of trauma-informed teaching and learning practices. Participants explore strategies they can use to help their students continue learning in the midst of a pandemic.

Best Practices for Teaching Online
Dallas College-Mountain View and NISOD have joined forces to design, develop, and promote a nationally-recognized professional development program that supports faculty and instructional initiatives. The first collaboration aims to incorporate universal standards into online teaching and learning while providing national recognition for faculty who successfully complete a series of free, openly accessible courses. The idea is to increase awareness of best practices at higher education institutions across the country and provide external recognition to online faculty at NISOD member institutions.
