Abstract

The study evaluated knowledge acquisition of teachers and school-based special services personnel following a trauma-informed practices professional development workshop. Retrospective pre-test/post-test design was used to evaluate participants’ learning. The results indicate a significant change in self-reported knowledge, suggesting the workshop improved staff understanding of trauma-informed practices in school settings.
