Handling Difficult Conversations in the Classroom: We want our students to grapple with challenging and controversial topics, but are we prepared to facilitate discussions when these topics evoke strong opinion and emotional response? This course provides proactive strategies for creating classroom environments that foster dialogue. The session includes time for participants to write guidelines they can use in their classes, as well as a chance to practice using tools that reduce tension, promote engagement, and develop student's critical communication skills.
