Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to the forthcoming “Trauma Informed Teaching” seminar. The seminar is scheduled for the 6th of March, Thursday, at 12:30 via Zoom.
Abstract: This interactive presentation introduces trauma-informed teaching principles and best practices to help instructors better support students who have experienced trauma—while also enhancing learning for all students. After a brief overview of key concepts, participants will engage in breakout sessions to explore practical applications in the classroom.
We look forward to your presence at this gathering.
Best regards,
Bilkent Teaching and Learning Support Center (BTLSC)
