Commitment to Trauma-Informed Education

I take seriously my responsibility to engage students in trauma-informed education. Pedagogically, I invert the classroom to encourage students to actively contribute to both their own and their peers’ education. Substantively, I invite students to understand the complexities and consequences of historical trauma as well as the macro practice methods that promote human dignity and relieve suffering.
