Turn a hot moment into a teachable moment.

As an educator, how you respond to heated moments in your classroom can make a big difference in maintaining a supportive environment for your students. A difficult discussion can be a teachable moment, or it can create a defensive climate that has a negative impact on your students’ learning experiences.

When handled correctly, conflict and controversy can be powerful learning tools. But some faculty may not be well prepared to handle these types of discussions, especially when hot moments arise. They may choose to have a superficial conversation about the subject or, worse, ignore it completely, which can be a barrier to learning.

Fortunately, there are techniques you can use to handle hot moments and difficult conversations. To find out what they are, order How to Create a Transformative Learning Experience for Students by Managing Hot Moments and Difficult Discussions in the Classroom.
