Oh, good. Race based trauma training for teachers

The nation’s largest teachers union is hosting a “race-based trauma” professional development course for educators, according to the union website.

The National Education Association (NEA) opened registration Sunday for its online “Race-Based Trauma Blended Learning Course” which trains educators to recognize the causes and effects racial trauma, according to the union website. Educators will learn how to address “race-based trauma” and how to turn their classrooms into “healing-centered environments.”

“Our students are shouldering the accumulation of inherited racial trauma―such as implicit bias or racism―and can affect young people’s ability to learn, make responsible decisions or maintain healthy relationships,” the course description read. “It is imperative to recognize the effects of racial trauma in order to restore equity and well-being.”
