Assisting Challenging Students
Disruptive, angry or aggressive students are often a challenge to handle. It's important for faculty to know how best to deal with these types of behaviors, but also how to recognize other issues. Depressed students can exhibit certain behaviors of which faculty should be aware.
Contact Terri Tarr for information and assistance on setting up a classroom observation.
Instructional consultants are available to perform classroom observations for faculty who wish to analyze their classroom teaching behaviors or who are interested in getting a second opinion regarding their presentation skills or the strategies they use for encouraging classroom discussion and group work. Consultants also conduct observations or reviews of online courses.
Instructors who have requested an observation typically meet with a consultant prior to the classroom visit or online course review to clarify the goals of the observation and review course materials. Following the observation, the faculty member and the consultant target teaching improvement goals and select, design, and implement strategies to meet these objectives.
