Trauma-sensitive teaching for migrant children
Children arriving in your country as refugee child or child of labor migrants need time to feel safe again. It can be challenging for you as a teacher to receive and teach newcomers. This requires special competences, such as trauma-sensitive teaching, cultural skills and perhaps just a little more curiosity and patience than you are used to.
You take good care of your pupils but how do you take care of yourself? Because you are the key, the e-learning starts with your practical self-care. You will then receive tools for trauma-sensitive teaching and suggestions from newcomers and from your colleagues. So that you can guide children with confidence in their new future in your country.

School leader, The Hague
Anyone who works with newcomers should get started with this e-learning. It is very special!
There is often a lot of talk about what to do and what not to do with newcomers. But for this training, everything that is written matters. You are indeed human first and then teacher.
Mahalath Dijkstra, School for asylum seekers
The e-learning has a really nice lay-out and can offer a lot to teachers. It provides many opportunities to pay attention to self-care in your own way. The tips and exercises are accessible and easy to apply in daily teaching practice.
