EDCT 5766 - Book Study: What Matters in the Classroom: The 3 R’s and Words We Use
Course Description
This course will take you to the next level of trauma-invested practice. Educators need to build a "nest"—a positive learning environment shaped by three new Rs of education: Relationship, Responsibility, and Regulation. What teachers say to students—when they praise or discipline, give directions or ask questions, and introduce concepts or share stories—affects student learning and behavior. Intonation, nuances of language, can dramatically change student behavior.
Learner Outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:- Explain how to create a culture of safety in which everyone feels valued, important, and capable of learning.
- Describe the four areas of need—emotional, relational, physical, and control—that drive student behaviors and show how to meet these needs with interventions framed around the new three Rs.
- Illustrate trauma-invested practices in action through real scenarios that identify students' unmet needs, examine the situation from five stakeholder perspectives, and suggest interventions to support students and their families.
- Offer opportunities to challenge your beliefs and develop deeper and different ways of thinking about your role in your students' lives.
- Examine language habits and intentionally improve classroom practice so language matches and supports goals.
