Empowering teachers and students who have suffered from trauma is essential for creating a positive and supportive learning environment. Utilizing the seven levels from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) can be an effective approach for exploring the energy that is at the core of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Trauma can create lenses for how people see themselves, those around them, and the world itself. The seven levels approach provides a framework for understanding how to promote emotional regulation, self-awareness, and self-compassion, while also encouraging creativity, collaboration, and a sense of purpose. By implementing strategies that align with the seven levels of energy, educators can help students and themselves overcome the negative effects of trauma and develop a positive mindset, fostering resilience and growth in the classroom.
