The Trauma in Educational Communities program at 91´«Ã½, designed for teachers with an Oregon license, is the only program in the state to offer a Trauma-Informed Practices Specialization program. This specialization indicates that an educator has obtained additional and specialized preparation to teach and advocate in a culturally responsive and equitable manner for the needs of prekindergarten through grade 12 students and other members of the educational community who have been impacted by trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognizing the need and value of educators who deeply understand the impact of trauma on educational communities, 91´«Ã½ crafted an 18-credit program that focuses on a comprehensive understanding of trauma within the context of educational communities. TSPC has not yet created a process to add this specialization to licenses. Instead, upon completion, candidates will be provided a Certificate of Specialization Completion that can be presented to district HR departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
