This course will engage participants in an asynchronous book study of Transforming Schools for Multilingual Learners (2nd Edition) by Debbie Zacacarian. Through this book study, participants will explore the federal and state policies that guide programming and equity for Multilingual Learners (MLs). Participants will engage with strategies and principles that can be utilized by instructional/curriculum leaders to enhance lessons for MLs in the classroom and the delivery of effective instruction. Practices that can be utilized to appropriately identify and serve dually identified students (MLs with disabilities) will be addressed, and ways to expand and build partnerships with families to center learning and school as part of a greater community will be explored. Individuals serving in a range of student, school, and district leadership positions are welcomed to participate. Weekly assignments will include individual and group work, along with a final product/project.

This two-hour training utilizes the 10 steps for enhancing trauma informed practices in schools outlined by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) framework to help school staff increase their knowledge and build their capacity for working with children who have experienced trauma. Through these 10 steps, participants will increase their understanding of what trauma is (through a developmental and educational lens) and learn strategies to implement their understanding in a practical and evidence-based manner. This training further emphasizes the role of healthy relationships as a protective factor through discussion of navigating boundaries and understanding risks of secondary traumatic stress and vicarious traumatization for staff working with children who have experienced trauma.
This training is designed to be applicable for both clinical and non-clinical school-based staff.
