Teaching is a complex activity that can involve challenges, misunderstandings, and conflict both in and out of the classroom. However, even in the face of challenges you need to maintain a professional composure and, if necessary, ask for assistance. For strategies on dealing effectively with conflict and communication difficulties, see the following CTE pages:
- Conflict management for instructors
- Effective communication: barriers and strategies.
- Large classes: limiting the chaos
This portal also provides strategies for dealing with conflict over marks and with academic and non-academic conduct.
If you need outside assistance or want to discuss a difficult decision that has arisen, your course leader or TA or GI coordinator are available to assist you.
