SUMMARY:Facilitating Conversations on "Controversial Topics" Under The Advance Ohio Higher Education Act?
DESCRIPTION:<p><span style="color:rgb(36, 36, 36); font-size:14.6667px">This workshop aims to provide a supportive space to practice facilitating conversations on controversial topics in the classroom considering the increased oversight of the state through Senate Bill 1. Participants will explore strategies for navigating a range of potential case study scenarios&mdash;both planned and unplanned&mdash;where controversial topics arise during instruction. Through small group conversations, workshop attendees will have opportunities to discuss, share experiences, and practice facilitating challenging conversations. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of the legislative context and increased confidence in navigating controversial topics that respect intellectual diversity and present the prevailing views and research in your field. </span></p>
