Trauma informed schooling and EDI

An intentional approach to social and academic success

We are excited to welcome James Kelly and Dave Pascoe for this SA Branch Event. This presentation will demonstrate the contextual and sustainable approach to Trauma Informed Practice at Elizabeth Vale Primary School. Key elements will be: the importance of intentionality, predictability, consistency and communication in a trauma informed school and some tips that we would give to others on a similar journey. From here, the workshop will provide a snapshot of Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) as a pedagogy for learning and how it complements the trauma informed approach. It will provide a very clear idea of what EDI is and what EDI is not and some practical uses in a classroom setting.

Thursday 24th March
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Adelaide Time
