Teaching with Boundaries: Creating Safe and Respectful Classrooms

This webinar is free and open to the public.

According to Psychology today, approximately 10 percent of students will experience educator sexual misconduct by the time they graduate high school.*

Maintaining professional boundaries is essential for educators to create a safe, respectful, and trusting classroom environment. By recognizing different types of boundaries and practicing how to set them, teachers can promote a supportive learning atmosphere, avoid ethical concerns, and cultivate healthier relationships with their students. Neuroscience research also shows that students need a sense of relational safety to succeed academically. In this webinar, participants will learn how to identify situations where boundary setting is crucial and explore strategies for applying them to create a healthy, safe learning environment.

In this webinar you will:

• Examine the four types of professional boundaries: emotional/relationship, power, physical, and communication
• Analyze real-world scenarios highlighting the importance of professional boundaries
• Learn evidence-based strategies to maintain the highest level of professionalism
