Agenda
I. Cultural Humility: By grounding our lens in Cultural Humility we will surface our own identities and understand how our own equity stories impact our trauma-informed work in schools.
II. The intersection of racial stress and trauma: By diving into understanding how racial stress and trauma intersect and we will better recognize how this shows up in schools from PreK - 12.
III. Implicit Biases: By identifying and unpacking how implicit biases influence our daily interactions in schools we can make mindful decisions about how to counteract the impact of implicit biases.
IV. Fostering Supportive Environments: Moving from theory to application, strategies to foster a more supportive environment for students and staff of color such as:
a. How to move beyond being a bystander: disrupting microaggressions through developing micro-intervention strategies
b. Developing a race conscious lens as a tenet of trauma-informed schools
c. Promoting culturally responsive and trauma-Informed disciplinary strategies within schools
