This specialization indicates that an educator has obtained additional and specialized preparation to teach and advocate in a culturally responsive and equitable manner for the needs of prekindergarten through grade 12 students and other members of the educational community who have been impacted by trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing the need and value of educators who deeply understand the impact of trauma on educational communities, EOU crafted an 18-credit program that focuses on a comprehensive understanding of trauma within the context of educational communities. TSPC has not yet created a process to add this specialization to licenses. Instead, upon completion, candidates will be provided a Certificate of Specialization Completion that can be presented to district HR departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-eastern-navy-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/slate.eou.edu\/apply\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">Apply Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-eastern-navy-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1NV0gtbkAIEYipmwxx-0loZ0O5t47T69N\/view?usp=sharing\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adding a Specialization<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 btn-block\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-eastern-gold-background-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/college-of-education\/\">College of Education Home<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-eastern-navy-background-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.eou.edu\/register\/request-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Request Information<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trauma in Educational Communities certificate is the same coursework as the experimental specialization; however, it is intended for candidates who do not have an Oregon teaching license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coursework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This program is available fully online.
