Further and Higher Education
Teaching in college and university classrooms encourages the debate and discussion of contrasting views. Consequently, disagreement and conflict is unavoidable, yet educators often find they lack the training required to handle conflict confidently and safely. CRESST can help with this.
Our training
CRESST offers college and university educators strategies for:
- Reducing potential harm in the classroom thereby increasing student wellbeing and retention
- Increasing educators’ confidence and the skills required to handle difficult conversations
- De-escalating conflict in the classroom, especially seminars, workshops and tutorials that are discussion based
- Ensuring everyone can speak, be heard and learn safely
- Embracing conflict in the classroom as an opportunity for creative discussion, critique, evaluation and deep learning of course material.
Our experience
Collectively our team of trainers have over 30 years of teaching experience in further and higher education gained from:
The Department of Politics at The University of Manchester, Newcastle College, the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University, the Department of Social Sciences at The University of Winchester and the Department of Philosophy at Hong Kong University.
“I have gained a much greater understanding of mediation/conflict coaching that I can now introduce on a daily basis”.
