Building on foundational concepts, this workshop focuses on practical teaching and facilitation strategies that support diverse learner needs. Participants will explore ways to humanize learning experiences, facilitate meaningful interactions, and respond effectively to challenges that may arise in the classroom.

Participants will:

• Explain how trauma may influence student behaviour, participation, and engagement.

• Identify classroom practices that support psychological safety and belonging.

• Apply trauma-informed facilitation strategies to common classroom situations.

• Use communication techniques that promote trust, transparency, and student success.
