Learn strategies and processes for managing difficult classroom situations and facilitating difficult conversations. First, you’ll learn preventative strategies for creating a “safe” classroom environment where students can engage in dialogue that fosters an understanding of diverse perspectives. Then, you’ll learn strategies that will help you intervene in challenging situations and disruptive behaviors in your classrooms. Whether your course covers controversial topics or not, “hot moments” could arise in any classroom. Knowing strategies to deescalate tense situations would help you and your students work through tough issues and create shared understanding. You’ll get a chance to practice the strategies with colleagues in this interactive workshop. Registration is required by Monday, June 2nd, 2025.
