Each of the following five courses provides three graduate-level credits and is offered to professional educators (teachers, counselors, psychologists, nurses, specialists, and administrators) at a substantial discount. This discount is made possible due to generous funding from the Oak Foundation, which commits its resources to address issues of global social and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged.

The first four courses comprise a certificate program in trauma & learning. Courses must be taken in sequence, and are offered in a variety of formats, including on-site delivery in your district, remote (synchronous and asynchronous) 8-week delivery, and an intensive low-residency institute format, which combines weekend study with continuing online work.

$500 per course, per person. Once registered, you will receive an email with next steps.

Trauma and Learning Workshop Sessions

This three-session workshop is offered by Lesley University for use by individual teachers or as part of a whole school learning initiative. The workshop reviews the impact of traumatic experiences on student learning and introduces some concepts and strategies for addressing these impacts as educators. The workshop is offered in a full distance-learning, three-session format, with self-paced assignments and course materials provided through identified internet sources. Although it is self-paced, it is recommended that the sessions be completed over a three-week period (one session per week). The material can be covered over shorter or longer periods depending on the needs of the individual or school. Those who complete the workshop receive a certificate of completion reflecting 12 hours of online professional development.

The individual cost for the workshop is $49.

Schools interested in purchasing a site license for up to 50 registrations should contact spedcenter@lesley.edu.
