Speakers - LIfTS Ph.D. Research Fellows and Associates

The Lesley Institute for Trauma Sensitivity (LIfTS) symposium is a discussion from the LIfTS Ph.D. Research Fellows and Associates around their current qualitative study of school leaders regarding the dynamics of school change and the processes involved in developing trauma-sensitive schools. Participants included members of the Trauma and Learning Policy Initiative (TLPI) for a brief tribute to Susan Cole, the former TLPI Director who passed away on May 1, 2021. Susan was a pioneer in the study of trauma and learning and a staunch advocate for trauma-sensitive schools.
