When it Goes Wrong in the Classroom: Reshaping, Reinventing, and Saving the Day
As management educators, we strive to create a classroom environment where student learning is enhanced by group discussions, experiential exercises, and teamwork/group projects, among others. But, what happens when one of these unexpectedly takes a turn for the worse? Can it be rescued? In this session, we explore various pedagogical techniques that management educators can use to persevere through unexpected circumstances in the classroom. Attendees will reflect upon and discuss their own challenges, and presenters will offer ideas/potential solutions. Attendees will receive a handout outlining strategies to reshape, reinvent, and rescue the situation when the best laid plans go awry.
