Today’s learners bring more than just curiosity into the classroom. They also carry trauma, burnout, and the lingering impact of disruption. This session explores how trauma-informed principles can be translated into higher education learning environments using technology, instructional design, and leadership frameworks to create spaces that support resilience and engagement. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to foster belonging, reduce harm, and lead with empathy in virtual and in-person settings.
