What is the role of theatre education departments in determining and harnessing the healing capabilities of the arts? This will be a professional development information session that defines and reveals more about trauma and how it presents itself in the classroom and how trauma affects brain chemistry. What practices should you put in place? How can theatres develop and utilize a Social Emotional Learning curriculum and trauma-informed pedagogy to better align with our values and better serve our communities? Cleveland Playhouse’s theatre education program staff will guide us through this session and share information about CARE, which draws on lessons from social emotional learning theories, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based literacy learning for grades K-8. CARE was also designed to improve school culture and safety, as well as the development of theatre skills.

Facilitators will share more about adverse childhood experiences and the impact of trauma on a child’s daily functioning and behavior. We will introduce trauma-informed care, its impact on students, and how teaching artists and administrators can support the use of the arts to address childhood trauma.
