TEDM 5200Trauma Science in Education

Catalog

Prerequisite(s): None This course focuses on defining types of trauma, the effects of trauma on the brain and its biology, and the impact of trauma on learning and behavior. The networks lower in the brain must be adequately regulated and fostered to allow for optimal access to the cortex. In this course, students will apply concepts of brain science and a “trauma as brain injury” stance to learning and behavior manifestations, as well as a critique of brain injury as reparable through regulatory, relational practices by adults in the child’s life.
