Translating ‘Trauma’ via ‘Micro-credential’

Dr. Jenna Epstein and Dr. Jodi Eirich are working on TIMRP trauma informed classroom management and restorative discipline practices in Garrett County Schools. ‘They’ve created a micro-credential to help first year teachers/ fellows/coaches with a sense of self-efficacy in being able to describe and utilize evidence- based practices that promote the parallel process of belonging for themselves and their students through focusing on how all of us are uniquely diverse individuals requiring unique systems of support.’ They are collecting study data on how those participating in the micro credential could reduce burn-out.
