This book centers equity in the approach to trauma-informed practice and provides the first
evidence-based guide to trauma-informed teaching and learning in higher education. The book is
divided into four main parts. Part I grounds the collection in an equity approach to
trauma-informed care and illustrates one or more trauma-informed principles in practice.
Chapters in Part II describe trauma-informed approaches to teaching in specific disciplines. In
Part III chapters demonstrate trauma-informed approaches to teaching specific populations.
Part IV focuses on instruments and strategies for assessment at the institutional
organizational departmental class and employee levels. The book also includes a substantial
appendix with more than a dozen evidence-based and field-tested tools to support college
educators on their trauma-informed teaching journey.
