Navigating Difficult Conversations in the Classroom

Facilitator:

Dr. Elina Salminen, Assistant Director for Educational Development

  • 10:00 am - 11:30 am
  • Seigle Hall 109

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 provides the opportunity for participants to develop strategies for fostering critical thinking, open-mindedness, and civil discourse in the classroom. We’ll 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.
