Welcome to Connected Communities, a podcast produced by TCU’s Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. You’re listening to listening to the third episode in our series about Connected Educators.
Connected Communities features conversations about Trust-Based Relational Intervention®
(TBRI®) and its application within different communities of care and practice. TBRI is an attachment based, trauma-informed intervention designed to meet the complex needs of children who have experienced adversity, early harm, toxic stress, or trauma.
Today we’re featuring a conversation between our host, Sarah Mercado and Faith Pope, a TBRI Practitioner who serves as the director of elementary education at Lockhart ISD in Lockhart, TX. Faith has served as a classroom teacher, academic dean, academic coach, and school principal, and has a passion for understanding the needs of children in the classroom. In this conversation you’ll hear Sarah and Faith talk about establishing connection with everyone in a learning environment, from administration to school faculty, to students. Faith shares great ideas and practical insights for building connection from the start of school, even in a virtual setting
