How Does Student Psychological Development Impact Your Classroom?
How Does Student Development Impact Your Classroom? Can you recognize students who are emotionally distressed and potentially dangerous? Do you know how to approach students who are emotionally distressed and successfully refer them to the campus resources available to assist them? How confident are you that you can address disruptive student behavior in the classroom in a safe, effective, legally-sound manner? Can you identify potentially dangerous students and employ strategies to both prevent violence and respond in those cases when prevention efforts fail? These questions will be the focus of an interactive workshop designed to help faculty respond to forms of student behavior that commonly cause uncertainty, concern, and/or alarm.
