Managing a Diverse Classroom: Facing Upcoming Challenges

Description

Concept by Ilaria Barbieri

This course refers to teachers working in diverse classrooms due to the presence of disadvantaged learners, including migrant and immigrant students and children with special educational needs.

Diversity challenges traditional teaching strategies and methods imposing the need to successfully manage a common context for all students thanks to innovative solutions.

The course has been tailored for participants who seek to learn more about managing their heterogeneous classrooms effectively by encouraging participation and achievement for all students using the latest inclusive classroom management teaching methods and tools. 

Participants will learn more about managing a classroom through experiential learning and will discover case studies that encourage reflection, discussion, and sharing of good practices regarding the challenging issues of the contemporary classroom.

Through engaging activities, participants will develop innovative ways to increase motivation and collaboration among students, establish classroom rules, and incorporate pair and group work, as well as preventive and creative classroom management strategies to encourage students to reflect on their own classroom behavior.

I really liked how the mentor introduced us to a variety of useful resources for managing the classroom. It was great to see such a wide range of tools that we can incorporate into our own teaching. This exposure to different resources will definitely make our classes more engaging and effective.

We participated in this course with 4 colleagues, in Berlin, and we want to thank the organization for the 5 days we used for the training. The course was very interesting, full of insights and possible practical applications. A special thanks to Ada Rigacci, our trainer, for her professionalism, kindness, and ability to provide us with content-rich training in a totally accessible way. We recommend the course to anyone with an interest in this topic.
