We’re looking forward to welcoming Orah Chaye to present at our first in-person conference since the pandemic.

Trauma is something many children (and adults) live with – even saying goodbye to your parent as a young child can be a traumatizing event. Particular groups of children, such as children who are refugees, children who come from lower-income backgrounds, children with diverse abilities, children with multi-gender statuses are more likely to experience more intense trauma; and generational trauma exists with children from different racial status (especially racialized and marginalized children). In the past two years, many educators have experienced the side-effects of the collective trauma our children have faced due to the pandemic.

Orah Chaye will speak about the many forms of trauma, help us understand trauma-based and bias-free approaches and uses BCELF tools such as Pedagogy of Listening, Observations and Documentations to demonstrate how educators can bring these approaches in their daily practice, and create learning spaces that are inclusive to every child.
