Disrespect and Disruption in the Classroom: Strategies for Prevention and Response

Light breakfast food will be available.

Disrespectful treatment of other students based on social identities or other characteristics, interruptions of faculty presentations, viewing of inappropriate websites during class: many faculty have felt that such student behaviors are on the rise in recent years. How can you set up a learning environment that prevents such incivilities–and respond effectively as a teacher if they do occur? This workshop will focus on specific research-based strategies for setting up and maintaining respectful classrooms and provide opportunities to practice these approaches.

Host: Fiona Lee, LSA Associate Dean for DEI and Professional Development
Facilitators from Intergroup Relations (IGR) and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT)

Open to all faculty campus-wide
