Great Educators are Active Listeners: How to Help Your Students Feel Heard
Please register here. BTLC Credit: IS, SEBMH
Description: Are you an active listener? Active listening is a skill that we can all invest more time in developing, especially as educators. Being a better listener means more meaningful relationships with our students (and even colleagues, friends, and family!). One of the ways to be an active listener is to learn about and practice microskills. In this workshop, we will (1) discuss what microskills are, (2) learn about 3 microskills, and (3) engage in a few role plays to practice a few microskills.
Learning Goals: 1) Define three types of microskills--invitations, reflective, and solution skills. 2) Practice using the three types of microskills.
