My Project

This iPad will allow me to learn after hours and over the summer for cognitive behavioral trauma in our preschool community. It will allow me to know my subject better and be able to pass the most current information on to my students. My students will benefit from seeing more advanced coping strategies and my coworkers will benefit from me teaching them new, refreshing information on trauma and strategies. Even though I have a degree in child development, it takes more for anyone to provide help for a child with trauma or going through trauma.
