And being confident in the classroom is not something you act, but something you be. The good news? Any instructor can learn to be more confident in the classroom. This interactive and experiential workshop will help teachers reveal more of their authentic teaching style, leading directly to more confidence in the classroom, a deeper trust relationship with students, and better learning. And being confident in the classroom is simply more fun! Onsite or Webinar options: As a 3 hour on-site experience, this workshop will take participants through safe journey of exploring their personal authenticity, with very practical "takeaways" that can be applied immediately. As a 90 minute webinar, attendees will be guided through a process that can immediately help them walk into a class with more confidence and authenticity, engendering trust and better learning. Suggested Attendees: Teaching Faculty, Instructors, Teaching Assistants, and any one else who teaches in a classroom setting.

Workshop Details:
Diversity in the classroom is here to stay! But how do you teach a group of students who are of different ages, cultures, first languages, ethnicity, and orientation? And how do you do it without stress? The secret lies in balancing between two extremes: The "one size fits all" approach to teaching on one extreme and the "custom teaching plan for every student" approach on the other. Neither extreme works well and trying to be too far toward either leads to unhappy students or way to much stress for you, the instructor. The secret to balancing is in a "Team Learning" approach. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create classroom experiences that helps diverse student groups interact and learn from both you and each other, all the while being honored for their individual strengths and uniqueness. An exciting breakthrough approach that results in empowered, engaged and happy students...and a low-stress experience for faculty! This 3 hour workshop will take participants through both theory and practice, with very practical "takeaways" that can be applied immediately. Suggested Attendees: Faculty (teaching and non-teaching, such as librarians), teaching assistants, PhD candidates, department heads, directors, managers, deans, registration staff, international education staff, counseling and advising staff.

The
bottom line in teaching is: 
“Students
seem to be different but they are really very much the same under the
surface.”
"Never
before have university and college students been faced with a more complex
and challenging world" 
Diversity
is with us and is here to stay, both in our local and international student
groups. Never before have faculty faced such a range of ages, cultures,
life experiences, expectations, and more. How can we use the strengths
of the diverse classroom to help us teach more effectively? How can we
turn challenges we face into positive learning experiences and build student
trust and engagement in learning at the same time?
