Meeting Description:

Celebration of Teaching (CoT) is an annual conference hosted in March by the
students in the M.A. in TESOL program (Pre-K to 12 initial certification
track) at Teachers College, Columbia University. The theme of this year’s
conference is Trauma-Informed Teaching: Supporting English Language Learners
Who Have Experienced Trauma. 

We aim to provide teachers from across local communities with tools for
working with language learners who may have experienced trauma and its
effects, including SLIFE, refugees, undocumented students, incarcerated and
formerly incarcerated students, and vulnerable students.  According to the
National Child Traumatic Stress Network, more than 25 percent of American
youth experience trauma or repeated trauma by age 16. This means that teachers
interact with students affected by trauma each day. 

Language learners and immigrant students, in particular, are likely to have
experienced and to continue to experience trauma, fear, violence, or chronic
stress. In light of this, CoT 2020  will feature a keynote presentation by
bilingual licensed clinical social worker Stephanie Cedeño and psychologist
specializing in Childhood Loss and Trauma Dr. Denise Sandole, as well as
hands-on lesson demos to equip teachers and educational communities, including
psychologists, school counselors, and educational advocates, with strategies
for working with language learners who have experienced trauma.

Note: Individuals with disabilities are invited to request reasonable
accommodations. To request disability-related accommodations, contact OASID at
oasid at tc.columbia.edu, (212)678-3689, or (646)755-3144 video phone, as early
as possible.


Call for Papers:
