In this course, we are going to look specifically at the trauma that can be experienced by children who are living in poverty. It’s important to think specifically about poverty (what causes it and how it impacts children) so that we as educators can provide non-judgmental support for our students. Moreover, regardless of the source of a student’s trauma, or whether we can definitely say that their behavior is linked to trauma, the support methods we present will create a learning environment that is more supportive for all students and provide a place where they can feel safe and have an opportunity to learn and thrive.
