Teaching Skills: Disrespect and Disruption in the Classroom - Strategies for Prevention and Response
Disrespectful treatment of other students based on social identities or other characteristics, interruptions of faculty presentations, viewing of inappropriate websites during class: many faculty have felt that such student behaviors are on the rise in recent years. How can you set up a learning environment that prevents such incivilities--and respond effectively as a teacher if they do occur? This workshop will focus on specific research-based strategies for setting up and maintaining respectful classrooms and provide opportunities to practice these approaches.
