Teaching and Learning in Difficult Times
I was the lead trainer and curriculum creators of this three-day training course focused on trauma-informed pedagogy for teachers of English from Ukraine.
In response to the invasion of Ukraine and the widecale displacement and interruption to education which followed, I worked with the British Council to create and deliver a course consisting of three modules:
Understanding the impact of trauma and its effects in the classroom
Dealing with very challenging behaviour
Making the classroom a safe space.
More than 1,000 teachers from Ukraine participated in the programme, which I helped to deliver in Poland, Romania and Lithuania. I also upskilled 16 Ukrainian ‘master trainers’ to support the further rollout and impact of the programme.
A short video introduction to the course can be seen below.
