Description

How do you handle disruptive students? Some faculty struggle with students who are openly disruptive during class, for example, challenging the professor in nonproductive ways, calling out in class, or refusing to participate in collaborate learning. Other faculty face challenges outside of class, like students who demand additional points, extensions, or other special treatment. What are the best ways to manage and redirect students’ disruptive behavior? Join us for this session to share your approaches and learn classroom management techniques from other faculty. To focus our discussion, we will read "Preventing and Responding to Classroom Incivility," chapter 7 in Nilson, L. B. (2010). Teaching at its best: A research-based resource for college instructors. (3rd ed.) San Francisco: Jossey Bass (pages 71-82). Lunch will be provided.
