      • We invite you to study the culture of the class and notice how the teacher/community creates or doesn’t create a trauma informed space.
      • When applicable, we invite you to consider where the embodiment practice comes from, how the teachers/community are connected to the lineage of the practice, and in what way do they share their connection to the lineage of the practice. We also invite you to consider who the class is accessible to, who attends the class and why that might be.
    • Classes at The Everything Space that are already approved: Contact Improv Jam or Series, Axis Syllabus Series, Co-Regulation, Circling, Rise-Up, Co-Motion.  Other approved classes include going to Dance Tribe VT, Ecstatic Dance in Montpelier, or attending any Mediation, Yoga, or Martial Arts classes. A sports game, or archery class, or an art class could be approved if you have a plan that shares with us how you will use the class to integrate the course material.

Case Study with online reflection form

Trauma Informed Principles:  Create Trauma Informed Principles for your classroom/practice after researching Trauma Informed practices in your related field

Addition of 3 practitioners to the TI Network:  Who are 3 practitioners in your community that are trauma informed?  We invite you to have conversations with practitioners about what trauma informed means to them and share with them what it means to you.  More information will come when this gets assigned.
​Final Project:
  • The final project is an opportunity to integrate a piece of your learning from the course or share any research you have done.  
  • You will have ten minutes of the class’s attention.  
  • How to use the time:
    • Research something related to the class material and share your research.  This is an opportunity for the rest of the class to learn about something you are deeply interested that hasn’t been talked about in depth already.
    • Teach us something you learned in class that you want to be able to teach well or understand better.  This creates a valuable opportunity for the rest of the class to learn a piece of the curriculum again, from a different perspective.  
    • Teach something outside of class (or share the material in some way), and then share with us the insights of your teaching and/or ask for thoughts from the class.
