Yes , a lot. I learned the huge role of the teachers to advocate for the well being of the students. It is also noted that teachers have a crucial resposibility to be mandatory reporters despite the procedure set by schools on reporting.
This module aims at learning how to identify PTSD symptoms and how best to approach it. Learning the tools to cope up improves quality of life so that one can achieve a better and productive future.
Students with PTSD have a significantly lower graduation rate than their peers. Treatment for PTSD can help increase graduation rates and improve the overall quality of life for students who have experienced Trauma.
This module taught me the importance of treatment- I'll encourage others to receive help.
I have been teachin 4o some years and have had to report several situations, it is never easy and everyone seems to lose something in the cases, teachers should seak help also,
I knew as a teacher that we are mandated reporters when it comes to abuse and neglect. I did not know that reporting the event to school administration does not meet lawful reporting requirements. I guess that I should have known that failure to report is a misdemeanor in most states.
I knew that we are mandatory reporters, but did not know that reporting to school admin only still leaves us liable under the law. We must report (or be sure that admin reports?) to law enforcement agency.
This module taught me how to recognize students who have experienced PTSD or trauma. It also taught me how to reduce student anxiety.
PTSD affects the quality of life for some learners, and at times makes learning difficult if not addressed.
