About:

Are you worried that issues will come up in your courses for which you will not know how to respond? Have you ever been frozen when a student has made a problematic statement? In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to lay the foundation for, and facilitate, meaningful and transformative conversations across difference in any instructional setting, even when hot moments arise.

Workshop Goal: To have frameworks and tools to incorporate into your instructional strategies in response to challenging moments.

Learning Outcomes: By the end of this session, you should be able to:

• Describe strategies for creating fertile ground for transformative learning in conversations across, and about, difference. (BEFORE)
• Utilize strategies one can use during hot moments to transform eruptions into learning opportunities. (DURING)
• Summarize strategies one can take after a hot moment to ensure learning. (AFTER)
