September 10, 2024
2:03 pm - 4:00 pm
Hale Black Cultural Center

The Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP), in collaboration with The Petey Greene Program, will host a workshop on integrating trauma-informed practices into classrooms within carceral spaces. The workshop will emphasize social justice pedagogy strategies and techniques to equip OPEEP instructors entering facilities with the skills needed to implement trauma-informed teaching in their classrooms. 
 
Participants will engage in discussion and small-group activities. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to utilize trauma-informed teaching techniques during class and self-care strategies between classes to support incarcerated learners and avoid causing additional harm.
