College of Education

Beth Rankin, assistant professor of practice with the College of Education, explains the concept of the trauma-informed classroom. Oregon State is one of only three universities in the United States that provides training to its pre-service teachers on how to help students experiencing trauma that may manifest in the classroom. This is the first of three videos on the subject. See all the videos here.

Amid a rising number of students with disabilities and an ongoing shortage of credentialed special education teachers, Oregon State University’s College of Education is hoping a new master’s program will help bridge some gaps in the workforce.
