Trauma Informed Classroom Training
Required by SB 11
Trust Based Relational Intervention
TBRI® is designed for children from “hard places” such as abuse, neglect, and/or trauma. Because of their histories, it is often difficult for these children to trust the loving adults in their lives, which often results in perplexing behaviors. TBRI® offers practical tools for parents, caregivers, teachers, or anyone who works with children, to see the “whole child” in their care and help that child reach his highest potential.
Get Your Own ACE Score - 10 Question Survey for your reference only! Do this FIRST.
I had a score of 6...with that said, use it for your own reference. It is not something we are reporting, just so you will understand the video conversation and it's usage with individuals.
NOTES- Due June 29th!
1. The videos will start after you put in your email, etc. Very simple.
2. If you stop and come back the next day, you basically start over. It doesn't keep up with it for you. I did jot down the time on the first video where I stopped and advanced to that minute the next day, it let me do that. I watched all of the last videos without stopping for fear it wouldn't track it correctly.
3. This is one of the approved workshops. Many other organizations have simulated the content and created their own platforms and they look awesome. Unfortunately, we have to stick with an approved vendor per TEA. This one is free for a short time and approved.
4. Must be done by June 29th.
