Teachers, administrators, and other educational support staff play a critical role in the academic, behavioral, social, and emotional development of children. The relationships educators build with children and families are not only imperative to helping children learn, they are key to fostering the ability of children to withstand the challenges that life places before them. Students who have been impacted by one or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are at risk for poorer physical, cognitive, and mental health outcomes. The importance of building strong, supportive relationships cannot be undervalued; nor can the challenge of doing so be underestimated. Research indicates that teaching is one of the most stressful occupations in the United States. Factors for this include job demands, work resources, school organization, and teachers’ own social-emotional competencies and well-being. Social and emotional growth, a Kansas State Board of Education outcome, isn't simply a key component of student success; it's also essential for adult well-being. This training will outline the impact of trauma and toxic stress on learning and teaching and provide participants with evidence-based strategies for building resilience.
