Diversity-sensitizing lectures

12.02.2025 9am to 10am via Zoom

In a seminar room, students from different regions, nationalities and genders sit together with the same learning objectives but very different learning styles and starting points. What do I do as a teacher when students process knowledge at different speeds? How do I take into account different language skills? What didactic options do I have to deal with different learning preferences? The workshop discusses the need for more flexible didactics in the classroom and in everyday university life, and presents different methodological options for achieving this. In addition to input from the lecturer, the programme will include peer-to-peer exchange and individual transfer to your own teaching.

For participating in this course, you will receive 1 AE in area A (Teaching and Learning Concepts) for the Certificate for Teaching in Higher Education of the Bavarian Universities.

Specific content:

• Recognising the heterogeneity of the student body
• Managing diversity in the classroom

Contact:

• Content: Dr. Susanne Frölich-Steffen
• Administrative: Hanna Stöcker

In heterogeneous working groups, conflicts often arise unintentionally, which, if left unresolved, can have a negative impact on the working atmosphere and develop unchecked into concrete harassment structures. This workshop will give participants the opportunity to think about concrete strategies to avoid sexual harassment in the team and in the classroom, and how to react if sexist behaviour occurs. In addition to input from the trainer, the programme includes peer-to-peer exchange and individual transfer to one’s own teaching.

Specific content:

• Recognising sexism,
• Preventing sexist behaviour
• Dealing with and avoiding sexism in the workplace

For participating in this course, you will receive 1 AE in area D (Reflection and Evaluation) for the Certificate for Teaching in Higher Education of the Bavarian Universities.
