Program includes a CD with the video presentation, plus supplemental materials, PowerPoint slides, and complete transcript • $99
The reality is that sometimes students fall asleep in class. Sometimes, they eat, or talk to their friends, or make inappropriate comments. So, what do you do?
In this Magna 20 Minute Mentor, W. Scott Lewis, J.D., answers basic questions about dismissing students from class. He tells you how to prevent it from happening – and gives you sample statements to include in your syllabus. If you do need to dismiss a student, he tells you how to do it properly and legally. He provides a sample script, so that you can have an idea of how to respond to what your students may say. In addition, he shares a rubric that you might use with students who are admitted back to your class to ensure the behavior you expect.
During this 20-minute program, you will learn:
- Actions you can take to help minimize the possibility of an incident occurring.
- Six key questions to ask yourself to help you prevent an incident or to respond more effectively should an incident occur.
- Who you should notify about “red flag” or “early warning” behavior.
The program also includes supplemental materials that feature sample syllabus statements, a checklist of campus resources, classroom management suggestions, a sample script, and a call management rubric.
Learning outcomes:
At the conclusion of this program, you will know:
- How to give a student notice that he or she may be dismissed.
- How to dismiss a student while minimizing disruption for the rest of your students.
