Managing Disruptions in the Classroom – November 16, 2023

Students who monopolize, who play devil’s advocate to get a rise out of people, and who disrupt discussions on controversial issues, can be a significant classroom challenge. Students may also come into conflict with each other, or call each other out. We may have students who are genuinely unaware of how their words or views can harm others. And students may also be experiencing difficulties that reduce their ability to manage their emotions in the classroom setting. In this interactive session, we will discuss how to co-construct guidelines, manage situations, empower students to problem-solve, and ensure inclusive classroom environments. We will also cover making referrals to campus resources, and participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues they have found difficult and to share strategies.

Facilitated by Nona Robinson, Vice-Provost Students in collaboration with the Teaching Commons.
