Abstract
-
This professional project contextualizes trauma-informed practices (TIP) for educators serving students impacted by immigration. With immigration reform and policy being carried out immediately by the current Republican administration, teachers need to become more equipped in catering to the social-emotional needs of their students. Students that now become targets of raids, deportations, family separations, and other systemic inequities. This project tailors forms of critical pedagogy to create a professional development (PD) focused on developing the practice of critical reflection. A practice that can be either self-reflective or reflective on systems that perpetuate inequity. TIP is problematized in this project, especially when structured to follow passive, White-dominant ideologies. As a challenge to educators, the PD urges educators to unlearn practices rooted in these ideologies. As replacement, the PD encourages educators to learn practices that enhance their awareness of immigrant identities, reframe TIP as social justice, and create spaces for student testimonies to be made and heard. This project adds to the discourse of critical pedagogy by tailoring and contextualizing practices to the identities, experiences, and narratives of students impacted by immigration.
