About the Workshop

This FLO Friday workshop aims to build educational tools for trauma-aware teaching practices. Facilitator Ki Wight will share new learning from research conducted by Dr. Sandra VanderKaay from McMaster University (2023) and her “Do It Anyway!” resource for Trauma-Informed Pedagogical Strategies.

This event is open to educators who are new to this topic, along with those who have experience teaching with trauma awareness.
