About the Event :

We may judge people by categorising one's membership of a group, gender, age, ethnicity or our past communication experience which is a common shortcut to assess and predict one's behaviour quickly. This could be a kind of psychological biases, positive or negative. Teachers' biases could hinder a student's ability to feel safe in a classroom and have a negative impact on student-teacher relationships .

This workshop is designed to help participants to recognise how the psychological biases affect our understanding and judgement, and hence explore skills to distinguish presupposition and mindreading. The facilitator will also facilitate participants to understand how presupposition and mindreading affect our thoughts, expression and execution and share tips on building positive relationship with students.
