Workshop description

Have you ever had to deal with disruptions in your classroom? Most instructors face at least occasional classroom disruptions, which can be difficult for new faculty and teaching assistants to navigate.

In this highly interactive workshop you will learn how to prevent disruptions by establishing your credibility, defining classroom expectations, and developing rapport with your students. We will also identify sources and instances of classroom disruptions and will finish by discussing ways to most effectively respond to disruptive situations. 

This workshop is offered on campus to allow you to practice in-person teaching skills or to model best practices for in-person teaching.

Workshop delivery

This session will take place on the Waterloo campus in room MC-2036.
