During this inaugural year, Modules 1-3 will be available in August 2026, with Modules 4-6 available in early 2027.

Module 1 – From Informed to Responsive: Understanding Levels of Trauma Awareness in Schools

This module introduces school personnel to the continuum of trauma engagement—trauma-aware, trauma-informed, trauma-sensitive, and trauma-responsive. Through podcasts, articles, videos, and team-based discussions, participants will explore how trauma shows up in student well-being and behavior, why shared language matters, and what it means to truly become trauma-informed with the ultimate goal of being trauma-responsive. Designed for all school staff, the module blends independent learning with guided collaboration to help schools take practical steps toward creating safer, more supportive learning environments.

Module 2 – Rooted and Regulated: Caring for Ourselves as We Care for Students

This module dives into the understanding of our own adult nervous systems and how being rooted and regulated ourselves is not only crucial for our wellbeing but for being able to show up for students in a trauma-sensitive and trauma-responsive way.  Through a mix of videos, podcasts, readings and guided discussions, participants will look at ways to identify and mitigate burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma as well as what we can do to help other adults in our organizations. School teams will be able to start designing wellness plans to support the adults’ nervous systems to enable them to better support the students.

Module 3 – Neuroscience for Safe and Supportive Classrooms

Module 3 of this series introduces educators to the core neuroscience behind how children learn, behave, and regulate in school. Through a mix of short videos, podcasts, readings, and guided discussions, participants learn how stress, trauma, and the nervous system shape student actions and engagement. The toolkit offers practical, research-informed strategies—such as co-regulation, understanding the window of tolerance, and promoting felt safety—that help create calmer, more connected, and more supportive classrooms. By the end, school teams will share a common language about the brain and behavior and be equipped with actionable tools to integrate trauma-informed, neuroscience-aligned practices into daily routines.

Module 4 – Teach Through Connection:  Attachment-Informed Strategies

Module 4 explores the role of attachment and the irreducible need for connection in our students, and how building safe relationships in your classrooms, schools and communities is crucial to support student learning.  Participants will learn, through a mix of short videos, podcasts, readings and guided discussions about the concepts of felt safety and co-regulation as well as how connection directly improves learning, reduces bullying, and builds resilience.  Understanding attachment challenges and resulting behaviors, as well as actual strategies school staff can use to promote safety and resilience is a key objective of this module. 

Module 5 – Grounded Together:  Creating Regulated, Connected Classrooms

In Module 5 of this series the focus will be on regulation – what it is and how to teach the skill of self-regulation (spoiler: it’s through using co-regulation).  Through a mix of short videos, podcasts, readings, and guided discussions, participants will revisit the neuroscience of brain development (Module 3) and the concept of Window of Tolerance (Module 2) to understand regulation and to recognize strategies and activities that can help students increase their ability to regulate.  By the end of this module, participants will know both how and why to implement regulation strategies with the children in their care.

Module 6 – Building Resilience Together:  The Science of Hope for Students, Educators and Communities

Module 6 is focused on resilience.  Helping the students in our care, as well as ourselves and the other adults in our schools to become more resilient is the hope for creating life-long, thriving learners.  Topics in this module will include the importance of empathy, curiosity and self-compassion, as well as an introduction to Hope Theory.
