Role-Clarity and Boundaries for Trauma-Informed Teachers

Learning Activity

While most educators readily provide students with an appropriate level of guidance and emotional support they need, some students require an additional degree of support and guidance to help them get through particularly traumatic life circumstances. While offering additional support to such students is admirable, efforts to support such students' through particularly challenging situations can potentially result in your role as the teacher being blurred. It is important that you remember and maintain healthy and appropriate boundaries to avoid ambiguity in the scope of your role as the teacher.
