SUMMARY:Workshop: How to Handle Difficult Classroom Discussions and Situations in the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Register here | Facilitator: Rachel Yoho\nAre you prepared to handle difficult discussions and charged situations in the classroom in the moment? Do you usually think of things later that you wish you would have said or done?  In this workshop\, we will prepare and practice how to handle important and potentially tense classroom conversations in the moment.  Our focus will be on how to support everyone in the classroom – including yourself – during tense times.  We will discuss and practice several teaching approaches.  This workshop is applicable to instructors across all disciplines for facilitating important conversations\, whether or not their designed course topics include socially pressing issues (like race\, gender\, religion\, politics).  Please note\, this is the second in a two-part workshop series on important conversations.  However\, participants are welcome and encouraged to attend this session even if they were not able to attend part one.  \n*Adding to your calendar will not register you for the event; please register using the link above.
