- Short Description:
- Rotate through stations to learn games that creatively demonstrate the different ways we communicate and more importantly, the MANY ways we can be misunderstood.
- Long Description:
- We all think differently. As a neurodivergent educator in a diverse classroom, I know how difficult communication can be. Understanding each other practically or empathically can be challenging. What seems obvious to one person can be confusing to another. Content includes a focus on how language and images can be interpreted differently. You’ll learn games that I’ve created or modified just like my students, but with insider tips. Then, you’ll rotate through up to seven playing stations for hands-on experiences. A packet will be included with game directions, variations, reflection questions, etc. Apply these to the arc of a course, a specific unit, a class period, or a 15-minute exercise. All of these have been successfully integrated into my university courses, but can be applied at any level.
