Early Childhood Education: Trauma-Informed Practices, M.A.

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Early Childhood Education: Trauma-Informed Practices graduate degree program examines trauma in the context of the learning environment. The development effects of adverse experiences and trauma and the ramifications of those effects on the child, especially within developing relationships with others and emerging sense of self, are explored in the first third of the program. Course and fieldwork have been developed to instruct practitioners in the effects of trauma on children’s development and ability to learn. The interaction of the child within social settings, with particular attention to curricula design and instructional practice is highlighted in this program. In the capstone field experience, practitioners learn to apply the knowledge they have acquired to their individual child, classroom, and school. Students get the opportunity to exercise leadership, mentoring and instruction through trauma-informed practice.
