Trauma Informed School Site PD at Wegeforth Elementary

On Wednesday, January 24th the Children and Youth in Transition Team (CYT) presented a trauma informed practices presentation to the Wegeforth Elementary school staff. The professional development training “The Trauma Informed School Site” is one of a series of four presentations that the CYT department offers. The presentation focuses on teaching trauma informed strategies to school staff to support student resiliency. Approximately twenty school sites in San Diego Unified School District have participated in the professional development series in the 18-19 school year thus far. Interested schools should contact the CYT department to sign up for trainings. Educators and staff can also sign up for trauma informed care trainings as individuals through the ERO staff professional development portal. The remaining trauma informed practices presentations include: “Trauma and the Brain,” “Self-Care for the Educator” and “Mindup Curriculum Implementation.” The professional development trainings are available throughout the 18-19 school year.
