Welcome to the East Midlands Centre for History Teaching and Learning @Northampton!
The EMC is a regional collaborative organisation, focused on sharing ideas and best practice in History teaching in universities.

EMC Annual CPD Event: Managing Students in Distress
Special Event in Partnership with UK Advising and Tutoring (UKAT)
University of Northampton 28th June 2023
Event Registration Deadline: 31st May 2023.
On welcoming your student into the room, you can immediately tell from their body language that something is wrong…they appear distracted, arms tightly closed with their eyes fixed on the carpet. The student looks up at you and shares what is distressing them with you.
You are the first person they have told…what are you going to do next?
Situations like this can be difficult for personal tutors and managing students in distress is something that personal tutors can often find daunting. If you sometimes feel apprehensive about supporting distressed students, you are not alone.
This workshop provides a safe space to explore these challenges using interactive theatre and will equip you with management strategies to deal with such situations. The strategies have been devised to specifically build tutor confidence in working with students who present with distress at differing levels of severity.
Register now to join us for this stimulating one-day, in-person workshop.
Please note: Booking is essential and early booking and registration is strongly advised. Places on this CPD training course are limited and the course may become fully booked in advance of the May deadline. It may be necessary to create a waiting list and close registration before the May deadline.
