Description
This course has been created for teachers who want to understand group dynamics and how they affect the classroom. The tensions, alliances and relational struggles among students can interfere with learning and create an unfavorable school environment.
Participants will learn about the various types of conflict and how to use them as an opportunity for growth. Through hands-on, practical activities which can be immediately used in the classroom, participants will increase their own ability to model and encourage active listening, empathy and emotional literacy among today’s students – and tomorrow’s active citizens.
By the end of the course, participants will enjoy a greater awareness of their students’ emotional needs and behavior and will have the skills to promote stronger classroom relationships and a more positive climate in school – for teachers AND students.
