Listening is one of a teacher's most powerful tools. It
encourages students to speak more clearly and authentically and
empowers teachers to connect to their students with understanding
and empathy. In this workshop, teachers will explore and practice
both active listening (actively encouraging others to speak) and
empathic listening (listening beyond the words) through theater
exercises, simulations and large and small group discussion. We
will then apply these skills to resolve conflict between students.
Finally, we'll use these techniques to encourage and stimulate
productive classroom discussions. Join Len Mozzi,Young Audiences
artist and professional trainer and consultant with 25 years of
experience as a theatre professional and educator, as he offers you
a unique and practical perspective on these important communication
skills. This workshop addresses Indiana Academic Standards in
