The module aims to equip educators with the knowledge and skills to support learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) through trauma-informed practices. It covers the theoretical foundations of trauma-informed practice, behavior management strategies, and the impact of trauma on learning. The module emphasizes the role of empathy and emotional intelligence, legislation and policy frameworks, and practical applications in classrooms. Students will learn to create inclusive learning environments, collaborate with parents and support agencies, and assess behavioral interventions. The module also addresses ethical considerations and the development of a whole-school approach to trauma-informed practice.
