Certified Trauma-Skilled™ Specialists

The National Dropout Prevention Center (NDPC) is pleased to offer the Trauma-Skilled™ Specialist (TSS) Certification Program for educators and at-risk youth workers. The certification verifies knowledge of the Trauma-Skilled™ Schools Model and expertise to share the model with others within the certificate holder’s place of employment. Trauma-Skilled™ Specialist Certification is founded on NDPC’s Trauma-Skilled™ Schools Model, a research-based guide for structuring school climate, modifying instructional practices, and imparting educator skills to improve achievement and graduation outcomes for trauma impacted and adversely stressed students.
