Empowering educators in trauma-sensitive teaching and classroom management techniques.


School leaders and teachers benefit from learning strategies and techniques to most effectively manage the manifestation of traumatic stress and other adverse childhood events within their schools and classrooms. This is why InSite Solutions offers a Fellowship in Trauma Sensitive Teaching. Through a combination of trauma-informed training seminars and targeted classroom coaching, InSite Solutions increases staff knowledge, empathy, and skill with regard to student social-emotional health, while simultaneously enhancing the school’s internal capacity.
