In this interactive workshop, we will discuss the critical role of course design and class planning for creating learning environments in which disruptive moments are less likely to occur. We will explore strategies we can use as instructors to respond to disruptions and maintain the integrity of our learning environment. We will also reflect on ways in which we might process our experiences of challenging moments with our students, our colleagues, and as individual instructors.

This is a closed event customized for the requesting department. If you are interested in a Custom Workshop for your area, contact us at site@psu.edu.
