Zorg voor een open klasklimaat
Vlaams Vredesinstituut: 'Onze samenleving staat onder spanning. Discussies over politiek en samenleving raken snel verhit, tegenstellingen worden scherper gesteld.'
Gevoelige thema's in de klas?
Dat laat zich ook voelen in de klas en op school. Leraren en directies worden voor flinke uitdagingen geplaatst. Hoe moet je reageren op heftige of haatdragende uitspraken? Hoe geef je les over gevoelige thema’s in het leerplan? Hoe voer je gesprekken over gepolariseerde onderwerpen zonder dat de klas opvliegt?
Op deze pagina ontdek je een mooie selectie aan lesmateriaal dat je tal van richtingwijzers en tips biedt over het aangaan van moeilijke gesprekken en het bewerkstelligen van een open klasklimaat. Grijp daarnaast de kans om No Cap te leren kennen. Die erkende online training reikt je handvaten aan bij de preventie van polarisatie.
De inhoud werd samengesteld door KlasCement in samenwerking met:
