WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Disrespectful treatment of other students, interruptions of faculty presentations, inappropriate uses of technology in class, challenges to faculty competence based on identity: many faculty have felt that such student behaviors are on the rise in recent years.
How can you set up a learning environment that helps prevent such disrespectful and disruptive behaviors--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.
