This workshop invites participants to explore trauma-informed teaching practices that benefit all students and contribute to a "compassionate" teaching environment. It begins with an overview of trauma, its impact on learning, and trauma-informed teaching principles before addressing strategies teachers can use to support trauma-informed teaching.
Participants should bring one story of how trauma has impacted their teaching as well as a policy, document, or practice used frequently in their own teaching.

This school year—and our world—looks quite different than ever before. From an upcoming, future-shaping election, to youth-led climate change protests, dynamic social justice movements, and virtual learning as the norm, the 'new normal' that can challenge student attention. However, these realities also offer opportunities to introduce relevant content in your AP English course in ways that encourage students to develop the skills necessary to read and write at the college level. In this webinar, BFW English authors Robin Aufses, Megan Pankiewicz, Larry Scanlon and Renee Shea will present strategies, multi-media content and structured curricular tools to guide teachers in using 'elephants in the room' to engage students in deeper learning. Webinar attendees will:
discuss key current events that may present challenges to student engagement and lesson-planning in the current educational landscape
explore specific strategies for using current events content to engage students in meaningful ways around themes of Social Justice, Sports, Environment and Community
review a classroom-ready instructional approach (e.g., graphic organizer, analytical framework) for each of the strategies shared
examine the features of an expertly-constructed AP Language program that provides ready-to-implement tools for engaging students, while also providing flexibility in lesson planning

Looking for exam prep resources? We've included the CED at a glance, graphic organizer, and rubric below for AP® Lit. You can also check out our webinar dedicated to this topic! In this webinar, author Kate Cordes will discuss how to make the most of the final month leading up to the AP® Literature and Language exams now that teaching and learning must happen from a distance. She will offer suggestions for how to utilize BFW’s online resources, AP® Classroom’s progress checks and questions banks, or your own units and assessments to determine student strengths and weaknesses. The webinar will also offer helpful text suggestions that target the skills most often emphasized in the new CEDs. Finally, we will share ways to support your students as they prepare for the revised online exams.
