5.4 Appendix D: Placement-related Traumatic Events

School and community leaders strive to make schools safe and happy places to learn. None-the-less, it is heartbreaking that today’s students, personnel, and families too frequently experience traumatic events within their schools.

In the event that a student teacher experiences a traumatic event within the host school, she or he promptly updates the University Supervisor, Program Coordinator, and Director of Student Teaching. 

This UNW School of Education team will direct the candidate to seek support by immediately contacting UNW’s counseling services and/or the candidate’s personal health care professionals.

Guided by recommendations from health professionals, the candidate and her/his UNW School of Education team will hold an ACR to document a plan for supporting the candidate’s health and for completing placement and program requirements.
