Safety

• Understand and be responsive to the impact of trauma.
• Basic needs are priority, check in on students holistically: we must Maslow before we can Bloom.
• Understand the difference between Learning Brain vs.Survival Brain.
• Establish class agreements with your students to address online learning values & expectations.
• Disclosure & confidentiality: set clear parameters around group sharing and reporting mandates.
• We are still mandatory reporters and must pay attention to the well being of students in their homes.
• Find a way to connect with every family in some way and offer community resources as needed.

“There is no more effective neurobiological intervention than a safe relationship.” -Bruce Perry
