How can we create writing classrooms that feel safe, supportive, and empowering for all students? This workshop invites you to engage with trauma-informed core values for teaching writing and offers practical strategies to address the challenges students bring with them to the classroom. Together, we’ll explore questions such as: What does a safe and supportive writing environment look like? and How can we adapt our teaching to meet the wide range of student experiences and needs? Through reflection, self-assessment, and concrete strategies, you’ll leave with tools to strengthen your approach to writing instruction and foster a greater sense of belonging among your students.
