As a caring teacher you are the first responder to trauma, disciplinary issues, and
student support. Our experienced professors and collaborative classroom environment
can enhance your skills to respond effectively to your students and build relationships
that enhance learning.
At EMU we specialize in restorative justice and trauma-informed practices. Consider
one of our courses to learn and reflect on your teaching practice and classroom experiences.
Given the tremendous sociological changes in our modern world, teachers are now social change agents, collaborating within the home and community to address issues like literacy and diversity. It’s both the social and ethical responsibility of today’s teacher to make a difference in the classroom, and we’re ready to help!
