EP 57: Addressing Trauma & Healing With Migrant, Immigrant, And Refugee Students W/Dr. Elaine Harper

In this podcast, we have a conversation with Dr. Elaine Harper about the experiences of migrant, immigrant, and refugee students in the United States. We have a discussion about the traumatizing experiences that some refugee learners may have and how this trauma may show up in the classroom. Trauma affects cognition, emotional intelligence, and behaviors of young people who experience it. Immigrant, migrant, and refugee learners may experience traumas such as grief, loss, violence, and separation. What are some basic demographics of students who are migrant, immigrants, and refugees in America?  Who are these students? How can educators and school leaders incorporate SEL/healing-based practices to support students who’ve experienced trauma, particularly students who are immigrant or refugee learners?
