“Sometimes things seem to explode in the classroom, and what do we do then? Knowing strategies for turning difficult encounters into learning opportunities enables us to address important, but hot, topics such as- religion, politics, race, class, gender-in our classroom discussions.”

- Lee Warren, Derek Bok Center

The ‘Managing Difficult Classroom Moments’ workshop creates an opportunity for faculty members to develop concrete skills and strategies in order to effectively manage difficult classroom moments.

Objectives of the workshop:

Increase awareness that difficult classroom moments are normal and frequent occurrences in healthy learning environments;

Provide opportunities to engage in critical self-reflection that may assist understanding of responses to difficult classroom moments; and

Present strategies and tools to more effectively intervene in difficult classroom moments.

Time: 9 a.m.  – 12 noon

Light lunch will be served at midday

Space is limited. To register for the workshop please email Jodie Glean.

Live Event Webinar

If you think brain science is not part of your teaching job description, think again. Teachers deal with the neurochemistry behind student learning processes whether they want to or not, and today’s higher education institutions have the unique challenge of serving students whose learning styles have evolved in a multitasking culture.

In this seminar Dr. Bloom and Dr. Petrocco-Napuli will cover how to:

  • Apply educational best practices associated with a learner-centred environment and neurological constructs
  • Use course management and teaching strategies based on brain function that will enhance the learner-centred classroom
  • Adapt presentation styles based on the effects of multitasking on students
  • Optimize teaching strategies through knowledge of the key areas of the brain involved in learning
  • Identify the basic neurology of the brain’s reward centers and create the best parameters for implementing reward systems

Facilitators:

Dr. Lisa Bloom, Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology
Dr. Kristina L. Petrocco-Napuli, holds a bachelor of science degree in physiological sciences from the University of Arizona. She is a graduate of the New York Chiropractic College
