Win a Teacher Grant To Become a Certified Trauma and Resilience Specialist

We know the impact traumatic life experiences have on our students. So many of us spend our prep periods, lunch breaks, and weekends looking for the best strategies to help create positive, healthy environments for our students. But it’s hard to know which ideas are best, which lessons will be most effective, and how we can create classrooms that help our students flourish. That’s why Starr Commonwealth is giving away teacher grants to educators who want to become certified trauma and resilience specialists.

Prizes include:

  • 3 Grand Prize winners will receive the online training Platinum Package to become a Certified Trauma and Resilience Specialist.
  • 5 Second-Place winners will receive the online training Gold Package to become a Certified Trauma and Resilience Specialist.
  • 10 Third-Place winners will receive the online training Foundations Package to become a Certified Trauma and Resilience Specialist.
