The use of humor is effective in motivating students, relieving anxiety, and building rapport.  It is also awesome.  We’ll talk about why you should bring humor into your class, the types of humor available to you, the types of humor to avoid, and more!  Absolutely no giraffes or harmonicas permitted!!

This workshop counts towards the Graduate Teacher Certificate or the Certificate in Foundations of Teaching.
