Active Bystanders in the Teaching Space: PGR teachers

Free CPD session for Postgraduate Researchers who Teach:

Thursday 6th July 2023, 1-4pm
FAB Room 2.43

Warwick PTC would like to invite PGR teachers to an informative and discursive session looking at the concept of Active Bystander, with a particular focus on how this might affect the work of PhD students who teach. Led by former PGR teacher and WPTC teacher mentor Pierre Botcherby and supported by Warwick PTC and the Academic Development Centre, this session will enable you to discuss and consider strategies for addressing unacceptable behaviour in your learning space.

Meet other PGRs from across campus to come together and share ideas and experiences! Refreshments provided. Please sign up on the form below.

About Active Bystander in the Teaching Space

Unacceptable behaviour in the classroom, such as racism, can be difficult to address, and many students will look to their teacher to model the right approach. Left inadequately addressed, unacceptable behaviour makes the teaching space feel unsafe, negatively impacting the learning, social experience, sense of inclusion, and wellbeing of both staff and students.

This project aims to create a leadership resource to build confidence, knowledge, and skills to enable those that teach to use Active Bystander principles to address unacceptable behaviour in the teaching space to create a safe, engaged, inclusive learning experience.
