Growing Into a Trauma Informed, Burnout Resistant Music Teacher
with Crystal Pridmore
Teachers all over the world facing staggering challenges. After years of enormous stress and global trauma, teachers and students find themselves struggling to find their way back to stability in the classroom. In this webinar, Crystal Pridmore offers insight towards framing the way we think about the mindset children come to school with from a brain-science perspective. Once we explore the way trauma affects the brain and behavioral patterns, we can come up with strategies to manage the behavior and manage ourselves as teachers.
Participants will walk away with classroom management strategies, music class activities focused on SEL and executive functioning objectives, corresponding slides for the lessons, and suggestions to protect their energy and motivation levels as teachers in an extraordinarily difficult teaching year.
You will be given access the workshop recording and downloadable materials from the presentation.
A certificate of completion can be provided to participants who request one for professional development hours.
