Making SPACE for Learning Inquiry 2019 - 2020 

Expressions of Interest

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This inquiry assists schools to understand the behavioural, social and learning issues often associated with children who have experienced trauma. It does this in two ways:
1. Through participation in two days of professional learning focusing on brain development and the impact of trauma on brain development.
2. By developing an action research inquiry focusing on children exhibiting trauma-consistent behaviour.

The Making SPACE for Learning Inquiry supports the participation of six schools.
