Tomorrow, Student Affairs will host a visit from a national speaker to discuss difficult and disruptive student behaviors. Please join us at the following sessions:
Wednesday, March 2 | Multi-purpose Room, SCC | Brett Sokolow, J.D.
- 8:15-9:45 Preventing difficult situations and responding to difficult people (designed for Staff)
This workshop is a discussion of best practices for managing a wide range of disruptive behavior. Should you confront it? Where? When? How do you confront it? Should police be called? The counseling center? What if I am the target of a threat or retaliation? [More Information]
- 1:30-3:00 Preventing and responding to disruptive students in and out of the classroom (designed for faculty)
Over the last ten years, there has been an increase in the number and severity of behavioral incidents in the classrooms and on campus. More and more, it is incumbent upon instructors to intervene in the classroom to address behaviors that can interfere with teaching and learning. Using a combination of lecture and case studies taken from actual incidents, this workshop will provide instructors with tools to appropriately address these behaviors. Participants will be provided with skills to prevent disruptive behaviors, to react to them, and tips on how to enhance their own campus procedures to address abhorrent behaviors. [More Information]
