Description

Instructors set the tone in the classroom by how they approach their work and students. Through their actions, they communicate their character, credibility, and convictions. Today’s students need to be convinced about their instructor’s passion before they put passion into their own work. To be an effective instructor, you must learn how to connect with your students. And while it may seem like some people are just born with the skills to connect with others, anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection. During this workshop, participants learn how to identify and relate to all types of students in a way that increases their influence in virtual and face-to-face environments.

Participants learn practices that help develop the crucial skill of connecting with students, including:

  • Finding common ground;
  • Keeping communication simple;
  • Capturing student interest;
  • Inspiring students; and
  • Staying authentic in all their relationships.

Participants learn how to:

  • Apply the Law of Awareness to recognize their strengths and limitations.
  • Overcome their shortcomings and clear the path for personal and professional growth.
  • Understand how students are different and how to work with each personality.
  • Build stronger relationships with students, appreciate students’ learning styles, and determine what works well together.
  • Incorporate effective strategies for handling conflict and personality clashes.
  • Develop themself and their students to be their best selves.

By the end of this workshop, participants know or be able to:

  • Build a heartfelt rapport with others.
  • Simplify messages to their most relevant points.
  • Share stories and illustrations to make important points more memorable.
  • Communicate with character, credibility, and conviction.

Digital Badge

All workshop participants can obtain, at no additional cost, CEUs in the form of a digital badge and certificate that provide a web-enabled, verifiable documentation of their professional learning experience! CEUs are awarded to individuals who pass the post-workshop learning assessment with a score of 80% or better.
