Overview
For this project, you will analyze and evaluate strategies and interventions used in a trauma-informed classroom, drawing from course resources, self-selected resources and personal experiences. You will create a written case study and share it with classmates for discussion.
Instructions
For Part 2 of the assignment, you should produce a case study, structured in a clear and coherent manner, which includes the following:
Select a trauma-informed classroom: Choose a real or hypothetical trauma-informed classroom as the focus of your case study. This can be a classroom you have personally experienced, one described in a research article or a hypothetical classroom based on principles learned in the course.
Gather resources: Compile resources that will help inform your case study analysis. These should include course materials, self-selected resources (e.g., articles, books or reports) and personal experiences or observations.
Describe the classroom: Begin your case study by providing a detailed description of the chosen trauma-informed classroom. Include information about the students, teacher(s), school context and any relevant background information that will help readers understand the setting.
Identify strategies and interventions: In your case study, clearly identify the key strategies and interventions used in the trauma-informed classroom. Describe each strategy or intervention in detail, explaining its purpose, implementation and any observed or expected outcomes.
Evaluate the strategies and interventions: Analyze the effectiveness of the strategies and interventions in the trauma-informed classroom. Consider the following questions:
How well do the strategies and interventions address the needs of students with trauma?
What challenges or barriers exist in implementing these strategies and interventions?
Are there any unintended consequences or drawbacks to using these strategies and interventions?
What evidence supports the effectiveness of these strategies and interventions?
Recommendations: Based on your analysis, provide recommendations for improving the trauma-informed classroom. These recommendations should be well-justified and supported by evidence from your research and personal experiences.
Submit your case study: Submit your written case study.
