[RE]LEARN 2020 - The Learning Innovation Festival

With the onset of COVID-19, wellbeing in education has become a vital focus area for educators to not only support their caregivers and students but also to support themselves. This firestarter session will focus on why understanding the place where trauma and learning converge is critically important for educators. Also emphasized is the crucial need for us as educators to empower ourselves to work through and with our own traumas, secondary traumatic stress, and emotions so that we can heal and better be there for our students and colleagues as well as help them do the same for themselves.
