Lectures and seminars Bites of Learning webinar: How can teachers manage their emotions in challenging student encounters?

Teaching can be deeply rewarding, but it also comes with moments that test our emotional resilience. Whether it’s difficult feedback, conflict, or uncertainty about how to respond, these situations can take a toll on teachers’ well-being and performance. This session offers a safe space to reflect, share experiences, and explore practical strategies for emotional management.
Join us for an honest and engaging webinar on how we as educators can navigate emotionally challenging situations with students, without losing ourselves in the process. This webinar is for educators and administrators who want to strengthen their ability to handle emotionally charged situations with clarity, professionalism, and self-care. You’ll also gain insights into how to support your colleagues and foster a healthy teaching environment.
