This partnership supports staff from Marshall County Schools to create trauma-sensitive classrooms and schools. Specifically, REL Appalachia staff are collaborating with partners from Marshall County Schools and the West Kentucky Educational Cooperative to design and deliver a four-part training series on evidence-based, trauma-sensitive practices and supporting district mental health counselors as they help school-based trauma teams apply the practices introduced in the trainings. These activities will contribute to the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes described in the partnership logic model below.
Current Projects
REL staff are supporting district and school staff in Marshall County, Kentucky to leverage existing evidence-based, trauma-sensitive practices and to help staff implement these practices in their everyday interactions with their students to respond sensitively to student and educator trauma. REL staff are providing the district with a recorded trauma-sensitive training that meets the annual training requirements of Kentucky’s School Safety and Resiliency Act and provides teachers with more concrete trauma-sensitive practices they can implement in their classrooms.
