The goal of this project is to update and expand foundational curriculum for Iowa educators in alignment with SF2113. The target population will include educators, administrators, and all school personnel. Major activities include content development including: 1) Research on child adversity, 2) Impact of ACEs and toxic stress on brain development and learning, and 3) Utilization of trauma informed and resilience building practices in the education sector; at least two train-the-trainer sessions for Central Iowa school districts to deliver this curriculum; support the development of an online module that can be utilized by any educator in the state.
