Davis School District R&R Conference 2024

In "Transforming Trauma: Empowering Learning through Sensory Regulation Strategies," educators are invited to explore the profound impact of trauma on student learning and behavior. This presentation will touch on the science of trauma, unraveling how it disrupts the nervous system and influences a child's ability to engage, focus, and succeed in the classroom. Recognizing that traditional teaching methods may not address the unique needs of trauma-affected students, this session introduces sensory regulation as a transformative tool to foster a supportive learning environment. Sensory regulation strategies are designed to help students modulate their emotional and physiological responses to stress, enabling them to remain present and receptive to new information. Attendees will learn practical, evidence-based techniques that can be integrated into daily classroom routines, creating an environment of calm and security where all students can thrive. The presentation will include real-life success stories, demonstrating how teachers have implemented sensory regulation strategies to make remarkable differences in their students' lives. Interactive demonstrations will provide hands-on experience with sensory tools and activities, equipping educators with the knowledge to customize approaches for their diverse learners. By attending "Transforming Trauma: Empowering Learning through Sensory Regulation Strategies," teachers will be empowered to become change agents in their classrooms. They will leave with a toolkit of strategies to help students navigate their sensory needs, paving the way for enhanced engagement, improved behavior, and academic success. Join us in redefining the future of education, where every child is seen, supported, and set up for success, no matter their background or battles.
