Online Event5:00 pm – 6:00 pm EST/GMT-5 What is the best way to prepare for moments when our courses touch on content that is potentially triggering for students? Join us for a conversation about how students experience such moments and how we might plan our courses (and teach our classes) so as to minimize the possibility of disruptive and/or painful moments in the classroom. How can we create a safe learning environment while continuing to teach material we feel is essential to the course?
Note: We realize that evening times are not ideal for everyone. Where possible, CFCD events are recorded; in other cases, we are happy to share notes afterwards. Please be in touch.
