Annotation:


Fostering inclusion and building community in the classroom are positively correlated with student participation, persistence, satisfaction, mental and physical health, belonging, and general student welfare. As society emerges from the social isolation induced by COVID-19 pandemic measures and as diversity in the upgrading classroom increases, relationships become even more important to foster an inclusive classroom community for all classroom stakeholders, especially under-represented populations. Literacy and Basic Skills educators can promote inclusivity, community, socioemotional skills, and reconciliation in their classrooms by incorporating sharing circles in their andragogies of care.

Trauma-informed Andragogy: A Resource for Literacy and Basic Skills Educators

   
Author(s): College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC)
Published: 2023
Funder(s): MLITSD
   
Annotation:


Trauma-Informed Andragogy – Many of the adult learners who enrol in upgrading programs are from under-represented and marginalized populations. Unfortunately, many of these learners are at an increased risk of experiencing disparate outcomes, such as trauma. The risk of experiencing trauma increases as the social categorizations of marginalized persons intersect. Literacy and Basic Skills educators can better support and retain learners who are living with trauma by incorporating a trauma-informed approach into their andragogies.
