What we're reading: How Educators Can Help Students Cope After Disaster

"Now, disasters are becoming more intense and more frequent... The pattern is clear, and the impact on students is growing. Educators, parents and school staff have a vital role. We can help students understand what’s happening, cope with what they’ve experienced and prepare for whatever comes next. Disasters don’t just damage buildings—they disrupt lives. Every school needs a plan to support students through the emotional aftershocks."

Vet nurse program at Box Hill includes a core course on self-care which includes an assessment to create a self-care plan. Sometimes the content is difficult and upsetting and students need to establish healthy strategies to manage. #edtech #echo360 #traumainformedteaching

Lots of great, practical strategies for #traumainformedteaching: Creating self-paced alternatives of key content for students to watch in their own time will help students who need to take a mental health break from the classroom. Checking in using polls to see how students are doing. Ensuring students know they can (and should!) take breaks. Providing digestible content and lots of opportunities for success. #echo360 #edtech

Forcing attendance on mentally unwell students doesn't help them learn - it impacts other students, teaching staff, and learning outcomes. In Vet Nursing course, it can also directly impact animal welfare. #echo360 #edtech #traumainformedteaching

Marcie Connor on "Heal first, then thrive: a trauma-informed approach to teaching". Students have probably always struggled but now they are disclosing more that they are struggling. #echo360 #edtech #traumainformedteaching
