Get Effective Strategies for Teaching Challenging Students
Classroom Management 102: Working with Difficult Students
Professors are asked to handle an increasingly difficult array of problem student behaviors in the classroom. These problems include students using technology inappropriately during class and tests, unmotivated students who resist direction, and assertive, pushy students who are sometimes coercive–or even threatening.
Do you know how to respond effectively when confronted by uncooperative–or even aggressive–students? Without proper training on how to handle disruptions, a minor incident can escalate to real aggression.
Managed well, difficult behaviors provide opportunities to teach the offending student appropriate skills to be successful in college…and in life. Managed poorly, these behaviors can lead to low performance evaluations, a poor learning environment for all students and even potential violence in the classroom.
