	ENROLL UPLIFT: Cultural Humility: Unpacking and Addressing Cultural, Historical & Gender Issues The purpose of this module is to educate participants about the impacts of educational and social inequities on student achievement. Exploration of educational disparities and important considerations related to ethnicity, race, level of ability, religion, sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation will provide participants with a baseline understanding of the history and importance of educational equity. Overall, this module is intended to increase staff capacity to utilize tenets of cultural humility to better recognize and mitigate bias and disparities in access to educational or socioemotional support. Additionally, this topic is designed to support districts in facilitating meaningful conversations with each other, students, and community members around educational equity.

	ENROLL UPLIFT: Foundations of Trauma-Informed Care This foundational module is intended to build awareness and support staff at any level in recognizing trauma and responding to individuals who have been exposed to adverse experiences and/or trauma. It is expected that participants will develop competency around defining and discussing trauma and common trauma symptoms, as well as implications that trauma and toxic stress can have on behaviors presented at home, in school, or in the community. The module incorporates neurodevelopmental information to increase awareness of the potential repercussions of trauma and toxic stress on brain development, and resultant implications for learning, academic achievement or engagement, and social success. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of a trauma-informed care framework (e.g., the 4 Rs and 6 principles of trauma-informed organizations), and how these intersect with existing school initiatives (e.g., school climate, PBIS, SEL, DEI, restorative practices, etc.). This module is designed to offer all school-based personnel a basic understanding of trauma and trauma-informed care practices at all tiers, from universal practices to individualized supports. Training activities may include individual reflection, case scenarios, polls, group discussion and Q & A.

	ENROLL UPLIFT: Fostering Physical and Psychological Safety In this module, participants will learn about the key components of physical and psychological safety to identify ways to strengthen these critical domains of well-being for students, staff and families. A review of the stress response, its relationship to feelings of safety, and its impact on our availability to new learning, problem-solving, and self-regulation will be provided. Participants will reflect on traditional practices targeting physical safety in schools (e.g., active supervision, predictability and routines, fire drills, lockdowns), and expand their understanding of a safe, trauma- informed environment. Participants will engage in discussions and activities that explore how routines, norms, consistency, and predictability can help build a sense of safety for students and staff alike. Participants will learn the key components of psychological safety, with a specific focus on the sequence of engagement, including co-regulation and relationship building. Actions and practices that school leaders and staff can use to increase physical and psychological safety will be identified. Utilizing a case study, participants will explore how to replace less effective negative consequences with natural consequences and/or restorative practices that more sustainably establish feelings of safety for students, staff and families.

	ENROLL UPLIFT: Prioritizing Trustworthiness & Transparency Individuals who have experienced toxic stress and/or trauma often struggle to trust others, accept support, and/or take risks in learning. This may be true for our students, staff and/or families/caregivers. This module emphasizes how effective communication and a commitment to transparency and inclusion in decision-making are essential in establishing a school climate that supports all individuals in the system (e.g., students, staff and families). Discussion will focus on how to build a culture of trust, authenticity, and honesty. Particular emphasis will be on identifying communication and relationship-building strategies that facilitate productive problem-solving during courageous or difficult conversations. When we experience compassionate and dependable relationships, we re-establish trusting connections with others that foster healing and growth. This module will focus on actions and practices that school leaders and staff utilize to build schools and relationships that prioritize trust and transparency.
