Managing Disruptive and Dangerous Behavior in the Classroom
Recorded November 16, 2024 | College instructors are increasingly being asked to step beyond their expertise to manage disruptive, rude, entitled and, sometimes, downright dangerous behavior in the classroom. Drawing on Dr. Brian Van Brunt’s work in his books A Faculty Guide to Disruptive and Dangerous Behavior and A Staff Guide to addressing Disruptive and Dangerous Behavior on Campus, this training reviews the importance of setting clear and early expectations for classroom behavior, establishing boundaries in the classroom, and learning ways to address and de-escalate potentially dangerous behavior. We review the role of emotional intelligence, social emotional learning and diversity, equity, and inclusion issues as they related to classroom behavior.
