This year’s event, the second of the 2024 Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting, will be held under the theme of “Thinking about the Mental Health of University Students and Class Management: What You Can Do from the Standpoint of a Teacher.”
In recent years, the enrollment rate of students with mental disorders and developmental disabilities has increased, and the needs of these students at universities have diversified. In addition, in modern class management, these factors are intricately intertwined, such as the obligation of reasonable accommodations and the spread of expectations for online classes, and in some cases, there may be hesitation in responding to “what should be done and to what extent.” In addition to the post-incident measures after the student has consulted with us, is there anything that can be prepared in advance?
Therefore, this training will provide an opportunity to think about how to deal with class management based on the concept of a “social model of disability” as a hint for responding to these issues. First, you will learn the basic knowledge of mental health for university students, and then you will get an overview of the concept of the “social model of disability.” In addition, I would like to have the opportunity to think together about what teachers can do both after the fact and in the future, and at the same time, touch on what should not be done, using the keywords “Seven Elements of Reasonable Accommodation,” “The Role of the Syllabus,” and “Utilization of the Rubric” as measures to manage classes.
This is not a “training session” but an “exchange meeting”, so please feel free to join us.
