Teaching and Learning Week - Trauma-Informed Pedagogy
The theme of Teaching and Learning Week 2022 is trauma-informed pedagogy. Rooted in the theory of trauma-informed practice, trauma-informed pedagogy reminds us that stress can impede a person’s ability to process information, make choices, and stay focussed. Ultimately, it’s more difficult to learn (and to teach) when your brain is already overwhelmed with survival. During this week, we will explore trauma-informed pedagogy, how it applies to teachers and students, and how to create safe classrooms for all.
Teaching and Learning Week 2022 will also feature a “SoTL mini-conference” – an opportunity to showcase your own scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) for your colleagues. Share your research on teaching and learning and how you improve the experiences of students in your courses.
