College of Education Workshop: Managing Hot Moments in the Classroom

Many instructors avoid controversial topics in the classroom because of the difficulty involved in managing heated discussions.  Instructors who are willing to bring up such issues may face disheartening challenges in the classroom or low student ratings, in part, because of their identity-their race, gender, accent, etc.  Controversy can be a useful, powerful, and memorable tool to promote learning.  Research has demonstrated that conflict or controversy during classroom discussion can promote cognitive gains in complex reasoning, integrated thinking, and decision-making.  During this workshop we will discuss how instructors can successfully manage discussions on controversial topics.  Participants will consider problematic scenarios and discuss approaches to avoid problems.
