This is a recording of the following NATECLA Webinar:
Title: Growing happier: How can trauma-informed teaching help my students?
Date: 13 February 2025
Time: 19:00- 20:30
Presenter: Michaela Hendriks
We all want our students to be happier. It is what we want for ourselves too. All around us there is advice on being happier and increasingly there is advice on trauma-informed approaches. But what is trauma-informed teaching and how can it help us towards happiness? Disclaimer: this webinar does not guarantee you a happy-ever-after! But it will look at this 'new-but-old' approach and how happiness, resilience, well-being and gratitude might grow in the classroom. The webinar is based on research carried out with 16-19 learners but will be applicable to those teaching adults too.
About Michaela Hendriks
Michaela has been teaching in London for many years, mainly ESOL to both teenagers and adults. She developed an interest in trauma-informed teaching practice after attending a workshop and realising that this was a great approach which ESOL teachers often use without realising it to support students. Along with a few colleagues, she completed some research using simple well-being focused classroom tools and will share the results. Like all of us, she has always been interested in happiness.
