?? Excited to share insights from our coaching team's latest reading: "Role-Clarity and Boundaries for Trauma-Informed Teachers" by Alex Shevrin Venet. ?? This article dives deep into the fundamental question: What is a teacher’s [or coach's] role in a student's life? It's not just about delivering content anymore. The lines between educator [coach] and counselor can blur with the rise of trauma-informed education. ?? As we navigate this landscape, our coaching team is exploring how to maintain healthy boundaries and roles in our sessions. It's about finding clarity of purpose while embracing the complexities of supporting students holistically. ?? Let's keep evolving our practices to serve our students best and create safe, nurturing learning environments. #Education #TraumaInformed #ProfessionalDevelopment #Coaching #RoleClarity #Boundaries #LearningTogether #ToThroughTogether
