Course Summary

Good teaching begins with human connection. This course is for educators who want to strengthen their communication through empathy, active listening and inclusive interaction. In today’s classrooms — often multicultural, emotionally complex, and full of different needs — teachers need more than techniques; they need presence, compassion and clarity.

Participants will explore how to connect with students and colleagues on an emotional level, de-escalate tension, improve classroom climate, and build communication habits that foster respect and trust. Using real classroom situations, roleplay, reflection and communication games, this course helps educators “listen to understand” and create emotionally safe spaces for learning and growth.
