Educators and school leaders across the country are engaging more deeply in Difficult Conversations and Intercultural Dialogue training and frameworks to engage their communities in the face of intense division, polarization, and the upcoming United States presidential election. At the Klingenstein Center, in addition to this important work, we offer listening as our research-informed and practiced contribution to your leadership and pedagogy toolkit.
In this KlingChat for School Heads and leadership teams, Nicole Furlonge, will focus on ways of listening that have emerged as essential in her interdisciplinary research. We will practice a few of these listening strategies that are relevant for schools both now and well beyond this fall. We will consider how such strategies might contribute to or enhance the practices you are engaging already to cultivate a culture of civil discourse.
Join us to practice various ways of listening with fellow educators and school leaders and to learn more about how the Klingenstein Center is working with schools to cultivate listening cultures.
