Infusing Universal Design for Learning with Trauma-Informed Educational Practice : What Early Childhood Personnel Think and How They'll Pull It Off
Marlena L. Jenkins
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of North Florida
This research recruited ten early childhood personnel within a public elementary school and attempted to gain insight into their beliefs and attitudes directly related to the principles of universal design for learning and the tenets of trauma-informed educational practice. Through this qualitative study, the researcher posited the importance of explicit professional learning and a supportive and openly communicative school environment to support the implementation of a combined trauma-informed universal design for learning (Ti-UDL) framework. Such a model has implications not only impacting personnel and student relationships, but those occurring amongst school-wide personnel of all levels. This research employed multiple phases, including an introductory survey (Attitudes and Beliefs about Trauma -- ABaT), individually conducted semi-structured interviews, a synchronous professional learning session on UDL and TIEP within schools, journal writing, and a student-facing classroom observation for those participants primarily assigned to the classroom setting. Lastly, this research will review recommendations for the future and alterations supported by the researcher to support the successful replication and generalization of this study.
