Signature Pedagogies versus Trauma Informed Approaches: Thematic Analysis of Graduate Students’ Reflections

“…The purpose of this analysis was to assess effectiveness of online instructional methodologies. Each methodology was built upon both trauma-informed approaches as well as skilled signature pedagogies (Barros-Lane et al, 2021;Hoffmann et al, 2021). Table 2 lists each instructional methodology below, followed by brief description and connection to both principles of trauma-informed and skilled pedagogical approaches to classroom instruction (Martin et al, 2019;Moreno & Mayer, 2007;SAMHSA, 2014SAMHSA, , 2018.…”
