Engagement Course

As we continue to move into this school year, I want to let you know about a course that will be offered at Southeast Polk this fall.  The class "Creating a Resilient Classroom Environment: Trauma-Informed Instruction and Student Engagement Strategies for K-12 Teachers" is a hybrid course that you may register for if interested.

• The course will use the book "Confronting the Crisis of Engagement: Creating Focus and Resilience for Students, Staff, and Communities" and this book will be provided. 
• This course is available for 1 credit (license renewal or graduate) if interested.
• It is being offered as a blended course.  Much of the work in this course will occur online in Canvas.  Online course sessions will be held using Zoom.
