Best Practices in Trauma Informed Care in Early Childhood Settings

This course addresses in greater detail the key themes and concepts identified in ECE 260. Through evidence-based practice, students develop an increased capacity to work with children and families who have experienced trauma. Skills will be reinforced through continued self-reflective practice, practical application, and in-depth analysis of the child's environment. Students will continue to practice and apply course concepts in the early childhood classroom and meet with faculty in a 15-hour guided field component. Faculty will guide reflective discussion around implementing competencies in the early childhood classroom.
