“LAMB PCS is building organizational and teacher capacity to provide evidence-based, trauma-sensitive practices and explicit SEL instruction in our classrooms. This grant allows LAMB to build on its mission by providing support services to teachers in partnership with Georgetown University's Center for Wellbeing in Schools (WISE). These services include professional development trainings on trauma, mindfulness and SEL, as well as classroom coaching and data collection for teachers on implementing trauma-informed teaching. This fall, special attention will be given to virtually addressing collective trauma from COVID-19. Teachers of “at-risk” students or those receiving direct mental health services are prioritized for coaching.”
