Description

The impact of traumatic experiences is so significant that it can hinder the brain’s normal development. This disruption causes behavioral, emotional, academic, and other developmental changes. Seemingly simple things like a facial expression, one’s proximity, or tone of voice, may trigger memories of a painful event. This can lead to aggression, isolation, perfectionism, and more. Evidence suggests that with supportive educators and a healing-centered school community, students can learn, achieve, and begin to heal.

NEA acknowledges the National Center for Safe Supportive Schools (NCS3) for their review and endorsement of this micro-credential stack.
