Navigating Challenging Conversations in the Classroom

Event Description

While the classroom can be a space for open, respectful discussion of sensitive or controversial topics, facilitating such discussions can be a challenging prospect. This workshop will help instructors develop strategies for fostering critical thinking, open-mindedness, and civil discourse in the classroom regardless of the topic. Participants will engage with strategies for laying the groundwork necessary for having difficult conversations, learn approaches for responding to unexpectedly tense moments, and practice applying the strategies we discuss to common instructional situations.

This workshop will take place in person on the Danforth campus (exact location to be announced).

Lunch is provided. If you have questions about this Faculty Workshop, please contact Dr. Rick Moore, Assistant Director for Assessment and Evaluation.
