The Center for Effective Teaching will offer two NEW workshops in October 2019.
De-escalating Aggressive Student Behavior
The purpose of this training is to provide teachers with information regarding factors that contribute to student aggression in the classroom, and practical non-violent strategies for de-escalating the behavior of agitated and aggressive students. Understanding the aggression and agitation in the classroom will help teachers successfully implement classroom management techniques that will eliminate the need to use stressful and counterproductive methods. Utilizing relationship building skills will help to address power struggles in the classroom and allow teachers to successfully lower emotional tension, reduce and eliminate threat and re-establish and increase the student’s self-control.

Diversity & Cultural Competency
In this training, participants will gain an increased awareness of diversity as well as increase their ability to value diversity and inclusion in the workplace and our personal lives. Participants will learn how to:
- define the current definition of diversity and inclusion,
- understand changing viewpoints on diversity,
- apply employee engagement practices,
- handle conflict in the workplace as it relates to diversity issues and
- explore the role of hidden bias and the current demographic trends that demonstrate the reality of diversity.
Discussion will also address sensitivity and awareness of gender issues to promote effective working relationships. We will look at the legal responsibilities for individuals and organizations as well as behaviors, which, while not specifically illegal, can cause undue stress and harm.
