You might need to ensure a productive learning atmosphere, balance having authority with being friendly, and deal with difficult or challenging students or situations. During this MicroLab you will role-play difficult situations that might occur in the classroom and practice different teaching styles/strategies on how to address them.

Target group and required prior knowledge

Form and time investment   

This MicroLab has a blended character. You will start in the online Canvas environment containing support materials. As a preparation, you will be asked to think and prepare a case of a difficult situation you have experienced or expect to experience during the tutorials (about 3 hours of total preparation time). During the physical workshop (3h) you will roleplay prepared difficult cases with a training actor and together with the group discuss the feedback and application of group dynamics theories.
