Teach-Meet: Clashes in the classroom – Learn from experiences and responses from fellow teachers

There is this split second in difficult classroom situations in which you, as a teacher, can try to intervene, keep an open dialogue or protect the group dynamic. With a mix of experience, training and personal character most teachers manage to handle challenging situations in the PBL classroom. Still, clashes in the classroom may cause group tension, affect the learning experience and negatively impact the comfort and confidence of both learner and teacher.

This teach-meet brings together teachers from several UM faculties who have experienced clashes in the classroom related to general UM-PBL-group etiquettes, the content of the curriculum, the design of the course, skewed group dynamics or the impact of global affairs. The speakers will explore this topic from conceptual and practical angles, providing insights and tips that may help fellow teachers in preparing and delivering their teaching practice.

The Teach-Meet will take place on Wednesday 16 October 2024, from 15:00-16:30 in EDLAB’s Common Room (1st floor). We cordially invite you to join us. Drinks and snacks will be provided!
